If an ambulance is called, you pay half of the ambulance charge as well. Its roughly $100 for an ambulance (in my area), so you pay 50 bones.

a ride in an ambulence here can cost thousands, depending on what is wrong with you.
I'm not a big fan of socialized anything, for many reasons. But our system in this country is at best, ridiculous. I've always had good insurance, so I can't complain, but for the uninsured in the country, medical bills can really break you.
I would be a hardcore advocate for socialized medicine in this country, if it wasn't being lobbied for by just about every big pharma company out there.
