Maybe You're Better Off Calling An Uber

If you overindulge for the holidays, you might end up in an ambulance heading to the ER. And if you do, beware that it might cost a fortune and your insurance may not cover it, because not all insurance companies have arrangements with all ambulance companies, and if there's a fee dispute, they'll look to stick you with the difference, which can be in the thousands of dollars. (They can also take you to a hospital you don't want to go to, but that's another issue.) This should not be the case -- it's not like you can comparison shop for ambulance services -- but it is.
