This is what our taxes pay for

I'm sitting at the nearby park and I was charging my vehicle battery and this one gentleman was talking to a young girl that was there next thing you know she's dialing 911.

I didn't realize it until the fire truck showed up with the paramedics and the ambulance showed up with the EMTs so they bundled him off and off to the hospital I hope he survives and recovers.

But this is what our taxes pay for it doesn't matter if they can repay the cost but what price is a human life?

In Canada, he may get a $50 bill for the ambulance, but that is it.

Ambulance services in my area run over $2,000 but the insurance price is $305 out of pocket. It's a good idea to promptly pay the bill in case you need future service.
