This case is strange.

With Medical insurance we will be unable to reject people for preexisting conditions. Buy insurance when you get sick.

I am suspicious on the 8,000 dollar budget. Do they buy insurance for the trucks and workers?

I'm not suspicious. He is just citing operating costs and not equipment costs.

Operating costs might be like fuel for the trucks. Electricity for the Fire station. And so on.
