The issue was not if dumb people call 911 over idiotic reasons. The issue was the assertion an ambulance will be sent out for the express purpose to take you to the emergency room to have a pregnancy test administered for no purpose whatsoever. That's not how it works.

I could call right now and say I have abdominal pain, been throwing up everyday and feel nauseous
Then get to the hospital and ask for a pregnancy test

Money has already been wasted

Are we to really believe people are dialing 911 and requesting ambulances for the purpose to take them to the hospital for a pregnancy test, and these people are not having charges filed for misuse of emergency services and are actually having an ambulance sent out?

That was the point I raised here.

Cool. Now for my hypothetical scenario: The pregnancy test comes back negative and further tests discover a treatable form of cancer. Money was well-spent.
 
if a lady will call 911 over a 4 piece chicken nugget, you really believe people wouldn't call 911 for trivial medical purposes. Not all cities/counties have laws against calling 911 too much.

Yeah, because further tests for that kind of stuff are going to be done on a crazy lady that got brought in for a pregnancy test. Maybe your basic 5 panel... Money not well spent...

I was trying to point out the futility of arguing via hypotheticals. Apparently that point has been missed here.

That article in the link you provided was written by Grover Norquist. It makes me wonder if your colostomy bag deteriorates your brain

regardless of the author, it is published by a liberal source!
The Huffington Post was launched on May 9, 2005 as a liberal/left commentary outlet


Or is your brain so deteriorated that you don't know what a liberal source is?

I don't have a bag anymore! That's the beauty of the health care system before obama care! Obama care would have said removing the bag and reattaching my intestines is an elective surgery! I would still have a colostomy bag and a horrible quality of life! Check the picture I posted, You can see the scar where the bag once was!

A liberal source published the article, they must agree with it or the wouldn't be putting it out there for their followers. You don't see Fox new spewing liberal stuff!

Speaking of your picture ...... I'd say a little man-scaping is in order.

It looks like you have Buckwheat in a reverse triangle choke! :-)
 
Stupid for not wanting to be put on a waiting list to hopefully get my bag taken down or having part of my insurance not cover it! I'm pretty sure you are the stupid one, supporting obamacare, not having a job that provides medical or enough pay to get medical. Maybe if you spent a little less time on the weed forums.... LOL!

Yeah, but you cant always get the nurses to manscape you in the hospital. I'll spend over a month at a time in the hospital, cant even roll over let alone shave my balls...
