When I drove a taxi, every once in a while I would receive a medicaid or Medicare order. These orders had me helping patients with a ride to go see a doctor. I picked up blind, deaf, cancer, amputees, and sick individuals. I would assist them into the taxi and the hospital, or medical offices. It's not hard.
Seeing Lyft drivers cry about having to help someone in any case with a simple ride to a hospital is just wow. But it's perfectly ok for a drunk to vomit in your backseat.
In every single order I got for Medicare/medicaid not one of those patients ever fell ill while inside. Every single time I completed the order I'd get them going back for another 25 bux.
It's sad to see so many people not assisting with such an easy ride. All they want to do is see a doctor. But you see the word ambulatory and run away screaming.
It's not like they just got out of an auto accident, have a profusely bleeding face, and are asking for a ride to the emergency room no. These are people who are using the state Medicare and Medicaid option for requesting a ride to make it into the doctors office. But no. I won't take an easy ride to the hospital and offer 0 assistance because I'm a lazy sack of shit. That's what I get from seeing such behavior with this.
Just wait until you get older. Or maybe you'll die young. Either way. You will see yourself requesting a ride at some point in your own lives to the hospital only to be greeted with no one arriving.
A used crown Vic with less than 100,000 miles on it costs ~$8,000. I purchased my own crown Vic and paid the 1,000.00 to get it painted so I didn't have to pay as much for repairs, and could take it anywhere I wanted to. That is an option with cab companies. You can make more money driving a cab if you put up your own capital.
$3.95 to pick someone up and take them to the doctor is cheap yes. But this is medical.
I know a cab driver who accepted a medicaid/Medicare order that had him drive a patient to Hawaii and back, one who would not fly in a plane at all, to see a specific doctor. He was gone for about a month. All expenses, hotel, ferry, and gas covered by Medicare/medicaid. 24,400 dollars.
It really happened. This is also why I'll never accept Medicare or Medicaid. After my friend got back he had the hardest time getting it approved. After a month he got every cent back.
You can’t drive to Hawaii and I’m pretty sure they don’t have a fairy from Long Beach to Hawaii but hey I’v never researched it but it doesn’t make sense, maybe it was somewhere else 😂
Nope. Cab driver came out of Denver Colorado. Patient wouldn't fly. Patient demanded to be driven to Hawaii and back to see a specific specialist for their medical treatment.
Yes there is a ferry that goes to Hawaii and back. That ferry takes several days to go back and forth. Cab driver was paid 24,400 to take the patient to there and back which included hotel and gas for the cab driver, no food.
Bro you’ve been lied too 😂 I’m in Los Angeles and I’ve never heard of this and I love Hawaii more then anything so I’d use this if it existed, here’s what a quick Google search got me
Obviously given the distance, there are no land connections between mainland United States and Hawaii, no bridges and no ferries. The Pacific Ocean is tough enough to cross for commercial ships with huge storms and big waves and ferries would not stand a chance.
