Here in Australia, you can be 2,000km in the bush and an ambulance will fly out to you and fly you back to the city for free.
That being said, we also have private ambulance companies here that will sting you for a huge bill if you don't have private ambulance cover.
Yay for the RFDS.
If only ground ambulances were as universally awesome
We're getting taken to the cleaners in NZ!! I think it's $50 for a westpac chopper ride...
