This shows what is wrong with our current health care system. If we only had insurance for catastrophic illnesses, and paid for our own minor problems, checkups, dental, etc., would anyone call an ambulance for a boo-boo? But when someone else is picking up the bill, this is the kind of stupid thing that people do. This will only get worse under Obamacare.

Not to mention the kid's dad is an MD. One would assume he knows when an ambulance is actually needed.

Furthermore, I would bet 1 week pay that there are people trained in AT LEAST first aid around the Presidente and his [cough] wife.

None of them could tell the difference between something life threatening, where an ambulance is necessary, and something that could wait for the father (MD) to rush home and evaluate?

I call complete and utter bullshtein on the entire episode.
