The govt needs to rip out the tax deduction for employers, which is a big band aid. Until this is done nothing will change.
Your company doesnt pay for your car insurance or home insurance, why does it pay for your health insurance?
These healthcare companies make a huge amount of money billing insurance companies and medicare, so I imagine at some point its profitable for them to pay for the transport of the patient back and forth.
In any other field all of these billing scams would be a federal crimes.
Congress could solve this issue overnight by passing a 1 line law:
If a patient is using services that is not covered by their insurance, or if they have no insurance, no medical service provider can change more than the official medicare standard rate for any services rendered.
Problem solved.

They are in child seats, the Yuba is a great bike that is rated for over 700 pounds and has lots of child friendly adapters.

Without electric it can be a real workout, but with electric assist its so much more fun. The kids cry these days if we tell them they need to go into the car.
You can buy a Yuba with Electric from the company, but its 5K which seemed way too much when you can do it yourself for 1/2 the price.
I have a yuba mundo cargo bike with a BBSHD 750W motor and Panasonic 52V battery. The whole setup costs around 2.5K, as I did the electric setup myself. It has been great as I can carry 2 kids on it, and as I live in a urban environment I never worry about parking. The BBSHD is a powerful motor and has been trouble free.
