Donster Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Morning. Spent yesterday finishing up minor details on new PC build for customer. Last night Lottie and I went to a retirement party for one of the girls she works with. Good free food and booze. Off to Iowa City this morning to set up new computer and wireless network in customers home. Sorry haven't done the news for a few days, but got to try to bring in some more income to the household, as our insurance won't pay the $1200 ambulance ride Lottie had a month or so ago. I could start a big rant here about medical coverage and lack there of, even though you pay high premiums, but I won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stans Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 $1200 ambulance ride? How far are you from the hospital? Did that ride include champagne and caviar? Around here it's $250 or you pay an annual fee and incur no charge per use, which is a good deal for the chronically ill and elderly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stans Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 5 miles and $1200? That's highway robbery. Like I said, around here it is $250, regardless if it is the county ambulance or the local volunteer squad, and the nearest hospital is way more than 5 miles away.

Privately owned ambulance service here. And only one. That's the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stans Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 And the reason so many people embrace the concept of government run health care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
