I had to call the ambulance for my father once. He passed out in a restaurant in Hudson, MA. He had COPD and heart issues. They took him in an ambulance to a football field where they then Life Flighted him to UMASS Amherst by Helicopter. Take a wild guess what that 20 minute flight cost...

$3K....Nope!....$4k.....Nope....$6K....Nope!...$10 K.....Nope!

$12,000.00 it cost for that ride......I can fly around the world from Manchester in first class for that. Thank God he had insurance as well as being a Retired Veteran. The Pilot was a Vietnam Vet to boot....
