Medical Rides Just Got Pricier—Here’s Why

Anyone else shocked by their latest medical transport bill? Non-emergency rides for things like dialysis or therapy are jumping 15-25% this winter. Federal subsidies are ending, and companies are tacking on new fees—think $50 just to load a wheelchair, $25 for oxygen, and even extra for stairs or heavier patients. Insurance is getting pickier, too. If you rely on these rides, double-check your benefits and always ask for a full quote before booking! Anyone else feeling the squeeze? #Health #BodyHealth #HealthcareCosts

We ran into this way before all of this. It was two years ago. My husband was in Tacoma and he was in a rehab and they needed to get him from there to Olympia Washington now because he didn’t have Medicaid there was no transport available. It used to be you had unlimited rides on Medicaid now if you had private health insurance and Medicare, you could get six rides.

I thought that’s what Uber was for shit. I would flag a cab before. I took an ambulance too much money for my blood. I even try not to go to doctors in hospitals. Just a big scan. I have to be very fucking sick to pay somebody to see me like almost knocking on that door avoid the medical field at all cost big scam just like the government big scam. They want to run test after test after test $70,000 later than no answers they can keep that shit. 💩
