I’m asked to draw your attention to this company, one that organises air ambulance services across the USA. It’s an interesting example of the sort of choice that goes with being at the upper end of the health care system over there. You might be covered for this if you’ve got high end health insurance, or even high end travel insurance. It’s not just for medical reasons either, shipping you to a specialist hospital for a specific treatment: it can be used simply so that you can recover closer to home.

Of course, in our tax funded health care system we don’t rely upon something so divisive as insurance premia to pay for such a thing. We rely entirely upon charitable donations, or so I’m told.
