$45 for a 40-mile ambulance ride.

You got lucky, I paid $75 for a 4 block ambulance ride 30 years ago!

Thirty - two years ago , on a dark November Saturday night I chased an ambulance carrying my 5 year old son 60 miles to Victoria Hospital in London Ont . My son had epiglottitis. An emergency operation to allow him to breathe, 2 days in ICU, 6 days in children’s hospital in a private room, with TV .

I was never sent a bill .

At that time the OHIP premium for family coverage was was something like 30 bucks a month .
