Emergency Medical Flight Service Discontinued in Northwest Minnesota
OH NO!!!
Life flight saved my ex husbands life when he was stabbed 8 times. He was flighted from Roseau to Fargo. And taken directly into surgery when he got there. This is sad. I'm glad I left that area.
Hopefully, someone will contract another flight team! 🙏
Insurance companies won't pay enough for them to stay in business. The costs to operate a chopper is very high. But I guess your insurance premiums will go done now, right!
So much for putting that 17 billion dollar surplus to good use
Absolutely ridiculous 😮
This is capitalism. I would let some of my central mn taxes go to MW mn if it helps save lives. Insurance companies are an unnecessary "middle-man" that increases costs…
This is not good for the north country!
Dang, sad news.
