Yesterday I received a bill from the EMS (FDNY) for $522 for the ambulance ride to the hospital that dreaded night (11/29/2010, http://project05952381.blogspot.com/2010/11/my-sons-first-ever-seizure.html). If we didn't have health insurance, this is how much I'd have to pay the city.
When we left the hospital that night (early morning, about two hours before dawn), we took a $10 cab ride back home. The cost comparison's incredible.
