Drowning in Bills

A hero gets the bill:
The family of a 17-year-old Zion teen credited with saving a drowning boy on Monday in Kenosha, Wis., say the good deed has unfairly saddled them with more than $2,000 in medical bills.
An ambulance took him to the hospital for "precautionary" reasons. The ambulance ride alone is valued at $700.

If you lack insurance, be wary
of ambulance rides that are merely "precautionary".

The price tag can be scary.

  2. That would be perfection.

    Maybe a "wrongful life" suit.

    Or maybe a "you didn't do as good a job saving my life as I would have liked" suit.
