Just wanted to give some recent ambo 'costs'.

My parents have been on my brother's case since his late teens (he's almost 29) to get ambulance cover. He is a mad keen bmx rider and has broken so many bones over the years and has so many trips to hospital that we've lost count. They assumed he'd sorted it out until last week when he told them he has an outstanding ambulance bill after an accident at a skate park in Melbourne earlier this year. It's for $2500 for a quick trip from the skate park to the closest hospital. He was unconscious and bleeding from the head badly so his mates didn't even think twice before calling 000, an ambo was necessary. It turned out to be one hell of an expensive joy ride at the skate park that night though.

Food for thought.
