    You act like the helicopter ride to bring you back to safety isn’t going to bankrupt you for the rest of your life anyway. This is America we’re talking about

    Edit: at least in the US* I should have said

      I don’t mind it if the ride is paid, I think putting a “sorry you didn’t pay in advance so you can’t get a ride when you need it” is the issue.

        I think paying for emergency or medical services of any kind (outside of your income taxes) at all is the problem here.

        I was under the impression that SOS via satellite was still US only, seems they’ve since opened it up to more countries. That’s great!
