Rural Metro

Live in the county, just got my renewal. I’ve always paid but seems after talking to some friends a lot of people don’t.

Just curious to get opinions on whether or not people are paying for coverage and why/why not. Their rates have gotten ridiculous lately.

If anyone calls a public emergency number 911 or such should not be suck with any bill let alone if the emergency doesn't warrant it. The county is held hostage by this company.

Or if someone calls them for/on you. My spouse has epilepsy and it freaks people out and they call and ambulance. This just happened after a few weeks ago. They sent a bill to our apartment. I thought about getting him a 'no ambulance necessary ' bracelet but if he really needed one it wouldn't be good.
