some emergency ambulance services almost sunk me.

In 1989 I had to use an ambulance service and at the time my insurance didn’t cover it. $1,000 back then. I hate to think what it costs now.
A few years later we moved to a smaller town that had a volunteer fire department/ambulance service, which my wife and I each used a few times over the years at NO CHARGE.
Yes, I buy tickets to their pancake breakfasts every year with generous donations.
A couple of trips cost me a little over 2 grand.
