Why you need insurance for ambulances and rescue helicopters

Most people know someone who has had a medical emergency or accident that required an ambulance or rescue helicopter. The majority of the population mistakenly assumes that rescue costs are covered by health insurance. However, this misconception can cost patients dearly, as basic health insurance only covers 50% of the costs of medically necessary rescue operations.
