As if Americans weren’t mad enough about the state of healthcare in this country, here’s a video that makes things just a bit worse.
A TikTokker named Robby posted a video and talked about the experience he had after his daughter needed to be taken on a “lifesaving ambulance ride” and his insurance covered it.

Robby said he was slapped with a $600 charge for his daughter’s ambulance ride.
But when he gave his insurance information later on, the bill skyrocketed to almost $1,300.
Robby asked why this happened and the customer service worker said that the original $600 charge was for being uninsured.

When they learned Robby’s daughter had insurance through him, the full bill was $2,343.14. Robby’s insurance company paid $1,078.85, and he had to pay the remaining bill that came to almost $1,300.
Robby asked if he could take the insurance off of the claim to get the cheaper price, but he was told he couldn’t because of a bill passed in 2024.
In the video’s caption, he wrote, “And that’s America’s healthcare, baby!”
What a mess…
