I will admit, I did not know that. I’m British, I’m used to it being free. But I looked it up and it seems there’s a lot of other countries that also didn’t know that. Even if it’s charged in their country, it’s such a minor amount that they barely even notice, and they don’t need to pay if it’s an emergency.

Meanwhile, Americans are charged over 100 times what Germans are charged, even in an emergency. And they get billed extra based on the distance travelled.

“The cost of an ambulance” is only an issue in America. It’s not normal.
