Comment on Boy Refused Ambulance Dies: “Get a Taxi!” by Anonymous:

The IPAB can only make suggestions on procedures performed by doctors for purposes of reducing costs. While yes, this is both a worrying and controversial aspect of the bill, there are no provisions anywhere that would allow them to deny ambulance service under any respect. Additionally such service should always be at least partially covered by the new mandatory insurance programs (assuming you’re not being fraudulent).

While there is something to be said for mandating people to buy into insurance plans, nothing in Obamacare actually impacts recieving emergency care via 911 currently. At worst the IPAB can do something stupid in the future, but it won’t effect ambulance service.
