USA: die or get crippled by debt for getting saved

[–] books 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In all fairness. The USA has some fucking gnarly terrain and is sparsely populated.

Sending out a chopper team to get you off a cliff face isn't cheap and is completely self inflicted, so I kinda get why they charge you for that.

Getting cancer on the other hand, shouldn't bankrupt you.

Still not going to cost you in Australia, one of most sparsely populated countries on the planet.

If it's an ambulance chopper, it will. Police and fire are socialised
