A new California law taking effect Jan. 1 targets the kind of “surprise” ambulance bills that put Miele’s family in debt even though they had medical insurance. These bills take the form of out-of-network charges for commercially insured patients who have no control over which ambulance company responds to a call for help. Under the new law, patients will only have to pay the equivalent of what they would have paid for an in-network service. Health insurance and ambulance companies will have to settle the bill directly even if they don’t have an existing contract. https://calmatters.org/health/2023/12/surprise-ambulance-bills-new-california-laws-2024/

其实no surprise bill一直都有的，如果你在in network 的医院就算来了个out of network 的医生也算in network 这个算是把救护车也弄进去了，好事

总算把这个祸害给管制管制了一下。
美国既得利益集团真是太强大了，救护车的surprise bill 总算在加州被动了一下。
