EMS Charges Fat Rates For Obese Patients


Shawnee County, KS - Seriously?! Is this what health care has come to in this country? By their obese definition, anybody over 350 pounds gets charged almost double what a "normal" person is charged. So what happens when they pick up a person who is just big like a football player or a body builder? I can't help but think that they are going to be a little perturbed for being charged $1,172 and being called fat!

I wonder if they are going to charge half price for anorexic patients?

Get the full story at the Topeka Capital-Journal.
