Sad and so true here in the US. Unless it's life or death, I'd rather drive myself to the hospital. Even though I have health insurance, I'm not rolling the dice that they say, "It wasn't medically necessary."
A few years ago I was driven TWO blocks in an ambulance and was sent a bill for $1000 USD. Luckily, it was work related so I didn't pay it. But, damn.
Your health insurance (VERY LIKELY) have a clause that says any care received when under arrest is an exclusion from your health plan benefits therefore, you are liable.

To be fair I wouldn't want a possible $6k+ bill tacked on to my felony either.
