You’re obtuse. They’re charging more for comparable services in a lower cost of living area of the state, they get away with it because they are effectively a monopoly and there are no real alternatives or competition. They have even been sued and settled anti-competitive behaviors which is evidence to my point… They may not be the literal only healthcare provider but they are clearly able to use their size and scale to rip off locals. Otherwise there’s no other reason Sacramento should be the most expensive place to give birth… it’s a no brainer. You probably work for them or some other PR firm to spread propaganda like this. > Additionally, you are misleading people on the cost of an ambulance ride by conflating out-of-network prices and/or medically unnecessary rides. How am I misleading? Those were my real experiences. It’s not like the 911 operator asks about your insurance and makes sure the ambulance is in network. What about when the ambulance is called for you? How is that “unnecessary” if you don’t even have a choice? I bet you get paid to spread propaganda and lies. This shit is why America sucks—we all get worse healthcare so some rip off company can pay shills like you to spread lies and misinformation. The only people who benefit from the US system are insurance and healthcare executives. We get objectively worse care for objectively higher costs. It’s lose lose for the average person.
