“Money corrupts” is not a rational reason, nor is any other reason given here. I’m not saying the opposition has no basis; they obviously do. I just don’t think it’s been brought up here.
I think the main question is DY’s question. Would the patients be charged the copay now? Copays for ambulances can be in the hundreds. From my limited understanding, if they bill the insurance, the patient will automatically be charged the copay. So, I guess the only way around it would be for hatzolah to actually give the patient the lump of cash they need to pay it if they aren’t able. But, like I said, I don’t know much about this.
