I'd bet the vast majority of people who end up in an ambulance didn't call it for themselves. How can you send me a bill for something that I didn't request? Didn't agree in advance to pay for? Didn't agree to a price?

If I send a dozen large pizzas to your house, the driver will be pissed but Dominos can't make you pay for it.

Might ought to be, but that's not the way it works for a lot of people. - (mmoffitt) - (2) - Feb. 12, 2016, 02:42:15 PM EST
