    Which juuuuuuuust might cover the ride in an ambulance to go give birth (not the birth itself, just the ride).

      If you’re being facetious: this is a good thing. It doesn’t solve all problems but it’s a damn good start. No need to get critical about a pretty damn big step in the right direction, especially considering those starting this initiative in a local setting can’t change the healthcare system nationwide.

      If you’re serious: admittedly (and thankfully) I haven’t had to take an ambulance, but when my daughter was born the deductible on our high-deductible plan (after which point all care is covered for the calendar year) was a fair amount under that. The system sucks, but that’s not how it works either.
