FLL, is your life worth less than a possible $800 bill for an ambulance ride?
Believe me, the people with no insurance, knowingly unable to pay for the ambulance ride and equally unable to pay for a cab, will call 911 for the ambulance for anything from a toothache to 3 week old back pain knowing its a free ride. You find them sitting on the steps of a house waiting with bags packed.
