Beware those who want to bring this system here
Beware those who want to bring this system here
I fell off a ladder in August. The bill for the 1.7 mile ambulance ride is $4387.31.
Our $4500 per MONTH Cigna insurance won’t pay more than $600, because the ambulance is out of network.
There are no in-network ambulances in our county, and I was unconscious when it was called.

Andrew Milne seems to think he's the smartest guy in Britain and is playing everyone else brilliantly - but I'm not convinced it's going to end well for him.
It feels a lot like a future case study in the Dunning Kruger effect.

A solicitor, Andrew Milne has been bullying leaseholders across Sheffield into paying him extraordinary sums, with no legal basis.
Why hasn't the SRA stopped him? Because he's conducted an extraordinary campaign against the SRA. 180 complaints. Two judicial reviews.
