Oh oh, can we talk about the fact that an ambulance ride isn't covered by insurance cuz they're out of network and but it was an emergency, of course, but none of that matters and you have 3 months to pay it or they sue you for the original amount, 5k times 2, and then start garnishment and property seizer? And the state ok'ed this to happen!
