I heard a story about a guy who drove to the hospital holding his intestines in his hands after his surgical sutures broke while laughing at a funny show. I think we’ll be seeing some of that if they make this price hike, since ambulance rides are already pricy.

That's hilarious. I'd say look on the bright side. Less people calling an ambulance for frivolous trips or calling a less expensive ride for themselves.

Many people who call an ambulance for frivolous trips, don’t have any money to pay for them in the first place. Once, in the span of a week, I saw an ambulance pick up a homeless dude, who ended up on back on the street the next day in a hospital gown. A few days later, they picked him up again. That is just one week.
