You linked to a Lyft program for “Non emergency medical transportation”.

Pretty sure my comment you replied to acknowledges there is a difference between emergency and non-emergency transportation.

If you want to argue how a worker with a crushed hand/severed fingers going to the Emergency Room for emergency medical treatment isn’t an emergency...go nuts, and please feel free to be liberal with the case Law you cite.

Your original post said: "It is illegal for “ride shares” to provide medical transport." This is demonstrably false, but you still left it up there.

I clarified the difference before you linked lyft’s non-emergency medical transportation services

>And there is a differnce between non-emergency transportation and emergency transportation...but it is all highly regulated.

Nevertheless, I am right. Even to provide non-emergency medical transportation you must be registered (hold appropriate licenses/insurance), a random ride-share driver can not legally offer non-emergency medical services...unless they are registered with the government to provide those services.

Still none of them can provide emergency transport services to the public for money. So now you can continue debating that a patient with a crushed hand/severed fingers diagnosed by their doctor as needing emergency treatment in an ER is not an emergency requiring emergency transport under the law.

Please can you link to the law that you're talking about?
