Influencer comedy Robby Witt calls the laws of the California State for recent laws who have added new fees and the confusing insurance “discount” to the services of the first respondent. One of these laws made him so that his young daughter’s emergency account became more than twice as expensive after providing proof of insurance.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Witt scored MPs behind him AB 716The law that entered into force in California last year, which gives uninsured individuals to discounts on health care payments. It turns out that in Witt’s case, the insurance doubled the price of an ambulance law compared to if he was not secured – “opposite” how he thought he should work.
“Your whole life you said, right? Like, you want to buy health insurance, so if something – God forbid – not to happen, you will get a lower rate than if you didn’t have insurance. As we all said our whole life. And then the opposite happened,” Witt, who has more than 580,000 followers of Tikko, said Fox.

Although in the Los Angeles area, Witt unanimously broke the San Jose City Council to vote unanimously to enable his fire service to charge a $ 427 for an emergency medical care at the beginning of 2026.
As a local NBC Baya branch reported“The demand for emergency medical care has significantly increased after the Coid-19 pandemia, which has reached 911 incidents with the highest peak since 2022,” which led to the proposal of the head of the Robert Sapien fire chief.
“The implementation of the first response compensation will match the department with other medical care providers, helping our community in maintaining the critical safety of life through the recovery of expenses from the taxpayer of medical care,” Sapien said San Jose Spotlight.
With the approval of the City, San Josea Fire Department joined 23 firefighting units in the entire country that implemented the first liability fees.
Witt told Fox that he did not agree with additional fees.
“We pay high taxes in CA for funding firefighters. I don’t like the idea of turning nickel and smoke for a time of need. As Americans, they have always told us that you are paying taxes and that is going to the police and fire, etc., “he said.
“And now you are still paying taxes, but here’s an additional account. It doesn’t sit it right,” he said, adding his own advice to the Government: “If the countries/counties/cities could be mixed in a little operational efficiency with our tax dollars [they] They could maintain these services without the need for citizens for new fees. It’s a recipe. “

However, California law throughout the country is 716 who hit the young father too close to home.
Witt left Virus on Tictok Last month with a video showing his phone call with a health company after his daughter took an ambulance to the hospital for allergic reactions to food.
During the clips, which has been observed more than 30 million times, Witt has described its confusion in detail a member of the user service because of the Emergency Room Act in the amount of $ 600, in some ways, turning a $ 1300 account after providing proof of insurance.
“We got an account and then we realized that you did not have our insurance, so we sent you insurance and it seems that the account has increased,” Witt told a representative in the current viral clip.
“Ok, yes, so the first thing you got is the discount you got if you have not been secured. So you don’t meet the discount conditions because you are insured,” the person replied on the line.
As the representative explained to him, Witt’s insurance paid $ 1,078.85 from $ 2,342.14 ambulance, leaving him almost $ 1,300 to pay. If he had never provided proof of insurance, the California law would limit the payment to $ 600.
“Okay, so I’ll get cheaper health care if I’m unsecured?” asked the MP, emphasizing the ridiculousness of his situation.
As the representative explained on the invitation, Witt’s original bill was due to the California law, which stipulates that “the ground ambulance provider does not require an uninsured patient or a self-paying patient to pay the amount more than the established payment of Medi-Cal or Medicare fee for service, whatever is.”
Father told Fox that he had discovered that the explanation behind the law was problematic, noting that people could exclude themselves from insurance to pay less.
“I suppose my real problem is that is based on insurance and why this account is not written on the basis of revenue … so you can in fact have a family with higher incomes than me that decides, you know what? We will not buy insurance. And now, suddenly, theirs, theirs, at once, their, their, all Emergency Accounts It will be cheaper, although they are higher revenues. “
He then called the legislators who came to him.
“And so, you know, sometimes when they go into the legislation of these things, I do not know if they have run out of IQ points to do it, but it just doesn’t make sense to offer discounts based on whether someone will secure, not based on their revenue W-2.”
Putting the whole situation in a perspective, he added: “I paid 10,000 dollars in health care a year, and I was even worse on an ambulance than not to do so. So just on an emergency vehicle, I should have an additional $ 10,000 back in my pocket and I would get a cheap account.”
