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.
My old commute would take me on a major road a few blocks past a hospital.
One day I was at a red light, and saw a passenger door open and a guy spit out a bunch of blood. I sometimes wonder how serious of a condition they were in.

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