114. Agreed
***He went on to say he had an elderly woman in his care, she had no medicine, and no one from the state or federal level would help him.***

If by "elderly" she was old enough for Medicare, then I am pretty sure that Medicare will pay for the ambulance.

In any case, if you have a dying person on your hands, you have to get that person to the HOSPITAL. It is dumb to call a political HQ. And if a patient is truly dying, do not take that person to the doctor's office. That person needs to go the the hospital. Hospitals, even small ones, have social workers who can help with placement of cases like this.

Regardless of whether this story is true or false, it sounded bogus when I read it. I quit reading all the replies and comments here about halfway through, because the emotions being displayed were so silly. It is ridiculous to get mad at people who, very reasonably, question whether the story is true.
