@dcdeejay@mastodon.online @dirtyoldtown@mefi.social I dunno...I first found out that ambulances cost money when I was 14 and was out on my bike by myself.
It's not a question of what I'm in favour of, it's the way things are. They're going to be looking for someone to bill.

@UrbanEdm@mstdn.ca Sure, but that's not the situation in this rare and fairly unique case. I don't know *anyone* whose first instinct would be anything other than to treat a student on a class trip in their country like they would want their own child treated in the same circumstances. @dirtyoldtown@mefi.social

@UrbanEdm@mstdn.ca @dcdeejay@mastodon.online @dirtyoldtown@mefi.social in most of western Europe ambulances are paid over your taxes. It might be a private company running the service, but the bills are not paid by the patient. Transport to and from the hospital is another matter. You pay for that yourself, unless you are very ill.
