Yeah, definitely. Where I live now, it's about $1400 for an ambulance, but in some states/cities, it's much higher.

I think a mix is the right way to go too, but somehow I don't think finding the right mix for the U.S. will be so easily accomplished. It's tempting to want to change everything, but the reality is that when even one thing changes, there are a lot of things that have to adjust. I'm glad that it's an issue that the public is concerned enough about that political action is being taken, but of course this means a whole lot of talking before anything is done. In the meantime, I guess those of us within the States just have to do what we can to stay as healthy as possible until whatever the new reality will be emerges.
