This story took me a moment to process as an American, because here you'd get that bill regardless of whether you complained, and they wouldn't be joking about it!

In England and Wales all the air ambulances are charities, though receiving government funds. Much like the lifeboat provision by the RNLI it is a story of very different service provision than a purely state run institution would provide.
