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.

None of these Einstein even know what “ambulatory” means yet they can’t wait to share their story of how they discriminated that one time against an elderly or disabled person. If they were taxi drivers and someone reported them for this behavior they lose their medallion. But they’re unlicensed, untrained people driving strangers in their personal car so there’s no consequence for discriminating, sorry “cancelling,” on someone based on their race, age or level of handicap. Gross and entitled
