6 years old and he “fell off his motorcycle?” Maybe there’s a Kiddie version; a Hog for the little ones.
I very strongly recommend that we require EVERY government employee and contractor to receive a Certificate of Need (CON) before they are allowed to continue to receive funds from the taxpayer.
Said CON’s would be issued by an organization reporting to and answerable solely to the taxpayers.
Probably a dirt bike. My husband’s family let their kids start riding when the kids were 3-4.
They do the same with cabs.
This is a good area for the Feds to step in and protect the rights of the people to prevent states from interfering with commerce.
I was riding mini bikes around that age.
The main shortage is guberment brains
“brains”
They know exactly what they’re doing.
Yeah right... It's the stinking lawyers (politicians) that don't like the competition...
Competition always makes goods and services better.. Ask President Trump, He'll tell you how it works..!! That's why the stinking lawyers hate him so much... :)
My friend had a heart attack and I drove him to the hospital. My cousin’s husband had a heart attack and she drove him to the hospital. Both are alive and kicking. What the heck is wrong with putting the kid in the car and taking him to the hospital? I think an ambulance would be terrifying.
Much cheaper than an ambulance. Of course, I couldn't transport someone who needed a gurney, but those aren't the majority of the cases.
A Hog for kids. A Piglet?
Maybe an electric version?
Electric piglet sounds like a great name for an alternative bahd.
“...Kyler had to wait two hours.”
What? They don’t have a car or know someone who does?
I’ve been to the emergency room a few times in my life and I’ve NEVER been inside an ambulance!
“...a helicopter flew him to a pediatric hospital trauma unit in Roanoke.”
“...the air ambulance company, was not part of the family’s health plan network and billed $36,000 for the 34-mile trip from the mountain to the hospital.”
“According to the U.S. Government Accountability Office ambulance costs can range from $224 to $2,204.”
In NYC one ambulance ride = 50 Uber rides.
“This is a good area for the Feds to step in and protect the rights of the people to prevent states from interfering with commerce.”
This is intrastate commerce. Business carried out within the boundaries of a single state. FedGov has no standing to interfere.
If it were interstate, business carried out across state lines, then FedGov could step in.
Better for the voters in each state to demand an end to the CON con.
I’d be looking to see who the 3 current companies BRIBED!!!!!
“This is a good area for the Feds to step in and protect the rights of the people to prevent states from interfering with commerce.”
So your solution to big government is bigger government!?
I can’t believe a freeper would come up with that?
How about the people of Kentucky taking care of business and electing people who would undo this idiocy, or better yet passing a proposition to do that?
You make way too much sense.
In the category of protecting rights, it’s the Feds primary role - enforcing the constitution.
I’d also like to see them work in a similar vein to keep states from infringing on the right to bear arms.
So from my perspective it’s about forcing states to repeal laws, not enact them, I.e. smaller gov.
E.g. When a state tries to infringe on 2A it’s actually the Feds job to stop it.
But of course that won’t happen because the gov is more interested in taking rights away than protecting them.
