Professional news! 🚨
Today's my first day @STAT in my new role as a full-time reporter covering everywhere $ meets healthcare.
Dumb $ reason people aren't getting innovations or the best care? Screaming up the wall about ridiculous rules? Labor issues? 🤯⁉️ fees?

Cover ambulance services. The service that *came to my house* to pick me up and take me to the hospital told me *via a text to my phone* that they had no choice but to bill me the full amount, no insurance coverage, because they didn't have my home address or any means of contacting me to get it. I'm still arguing with them about it. They're charging me thousands for a 5 mile drive with no treatment but monitoring my vitals.
