I don't get it either, considering that the founder of the company is Jewish. It seems like a gene cataloging agency to me.

Why would an Amerifriend pay 7000 for an ambulance ride?
>>
>>55241092
My last ambulance ride was only $850. That's $85 per mile. If they had turned on the lights and siren, I'm told it would have been double the price.

I had my first ambulance ride back in July. It was about 15 miles. Know how much it cost? Neither do I because I have insurance.

They're usually American, South African, Argentine or something where they don't know and want to make sure. Those things are wrong all the time though.

It is really hilarious to see that Caucasoids are desperate to claim that they are peculiar and chosen one amongst them.
>>
>>55241656
My insurance refused to pay because they said my injuries weren't life threatening. But I wasn't conscious when I was put into the ambulance so it's not like I could have given myself a medical examination and decided to drive myself to the ER. And I have good insurance. I've been told since then that I should have appealed and if I appealed enough that they would have given in once it had cost them more than half the claim in their time wasted arguing.

Fuck nigga, I had surgery on my hand to reattach tendons. I have no private health insurance and it was still frrreeeeee.

It's embarrassing for a stormfag to find out one of their great grandparents was a jew. Genetic testing lets them discover the truth privately.
>>
>>55241806
Yeah, our system is weird. On the other hand, I spent over $10,000 on dental expenses in the past five years and paid maybe 10% out of pocket with insurance covering the rest. What's covered and for how much seems to be determined by a random number generator.

You have some shitty insurance. My injuries were far from life threatening, had my own room, had MRI/Ct scans the works. Haven't paid a penny.

I somewhat want to. I don't even care if I have nonwhite ancestry. I look white and nobody would know.

I just find those kinds of things interesting. It's like a piece of your family history. If I could I would watch all of my ancestor's lives played out in a movie. Even if it was boring. I love history, and that would be history that is most relevant to me.

I haven't gotten this done, and I won't unless I get a good career and have lots of extra cash.
>>
>>55242009
I agree with everything you've said, aside from the last paragraph. Hell, even though I'm light complexion/blue eyes/brown hair and beard I'd like to know if I have some Arab or African in me or ashkenazi. I can trace my bloodline back about 400 years but I want to know what happened before that. Did a Moor ever fuck a spaniard? Did Jews ever fuck anyone in Ireland? Did a Roman or Brit ever kek Alsace?

Only a DNA test would know. But I guess considering I'm a bastard child of Alsace, western Ireland, Spain, and some buffalo fucking natives, I'm not really "white".

Was at a hockey rink, slipped on the ice, face planted, busted my face open. A doctor who was there called 911. They loaded me up in the ambulance while I wasn't conscious. In the ER I got some stitches, they did an MRI, found there wasn't a concussion and sent me home. When the ambulance bill arrived, I called and asked them to submit it to the insurance company, they said they did and it got rejected. I called the insurance company and they said an ambulance wasn't necessary since my injury wasn't life threatening. In the end all I got was stitches and an MRI that showed nothing wrong but I also wasn't in a position to turn down the ambulance and even if I were, I'd still have to find a way to get to the hospital ten miles away while bleeding from a gash in my face and having recently been blacked out. Pretty sure I wouldn't have been legal to drive but maybe I could have walked around the ice rink asking if anyone was willing to drive me if we put down a towel to catch any blood.

It's the same insurance that the attorneys at my law firm that bill $1200/hr use. I always thought it was good coverage but now that I think about it, the attorneys can afford higher out of pocket expenses and since staff outnumber attorneys five to one, I wouldn't be surprised if they cut corners on the policy to save money. That wouldn't explain though why we have such good dental coverage. The ER costs were all covered once I paid the deductible, which was a couple hundred. It was just the ambulance that they refused to pay for. None of it seems very consistent.

Agree with these, it's interesting for anyone. However with things like these I have a hard time trusting their accuracy, unless you tell them nothing of your ancestry and the results they give you still make sense it seems like it'd be pretty easy to run a fake service.

>>55239946

You get full access to the (genotyped) data, which includes 100.000s of markers. You can dowload the raw data and run it locally through programs like Promethease.

I did it because I knew I had health-related risk factors running in the family, and I wanted to know whether I inherited certain traits. I gained a lot of other insights like that I'm a recessive carrier for some stuff I had never even heard about, or that I'm a slow metabolizer, or that my body responds better to high intensity training and better to a low-fat diet. Literally 100s of genetic factors, some if which made a lot of sense in hindsight.

Knowing my haplogroups or the probable ethnic background of chunks of my autosomal DNA is just a bonus.

The 99.- plus mail I paid is a damn good price for all of that.

Just for reassurance. I opened a parallel genealogy account with Ancestry and discovered I'm directly descended from a series of slaveowners, including the founder of Raliegh, North Carolina, so I have all these nigger third cousins who keep sending me 23andMe messages wondering how we could be related.

Of course you're white. You have far too little faith in your white genes if you think 1.3% nonwhite dna is enough to change your race.

I was only 17, so I couldn't get a firearm. (As an aside, believe it or not, the NIH says firearms are successful in suicides just 75% of the time.)

I slit my wrists and ingested about 300 aspirin with a bottle of vodka. I was in a coma for three days and suffered kidney failure and aspirated lungs. The attending physicians said they couldn't believe I survived.

I'm glad I lived, though. I've had a good life since. But depression is a real bitch.
>>
>>55243081
Only one. Hopefully it will be the only one I have but when I'm old as fuck I'm sure there will be more. In the ER before anyone did anything for me, a woman came over and asked for my insurance card, which she scanned into a portable computer to get approval. I guess they would have asked me in the ambulance but I wasn't conscious until part way to the hospital.

its for white americans who dont know their ancestry

which probably means they arent actually white

Agree with you completely 'Straya bro. I'd send my kit from my roommate's info knowing my heritage and see if it matches or not. I will know if they're bullshit because I can at least trace it back with portraits and photos into the 1600's.
>>55242830
I already know I have Apache in my genes. There was a warrior tribe, the Lipan Apache, that constantly raided my maternal family's ranch in the 1830-1880 range in Texas. I know this because my great great grandfather kicked his daughter from their homestead for interbreeding. It's written on the back page of our family bible.
