Let's see: That about 137 ambulances per day nation wide. That is an
area of 9,826,630 kmý or 3,794,066 sq mi. Not that it matters, but
compare that to the size of other countries and how their ambulances
fair. For a population of 303,538,000, that comes out to about 1.5
persons a year that have to go to hospitals that are not the closest.

I have no idea why American healthcare would care about your ass, but
you are right, we don't have the best healthcare in the world. No
country does simply because every ass in the world has a different
opinion of the healthcare in other places and in their own place.

Yes, it sucks badly if you are one of the people that has to travel
that extra distance. And if you die would you really care then? After
all, you would be dead.

I wonder how many of those 50,000 people, assuming that there is only
one patient per ambulance, would have died anyway? Of course, there is
no way to really know that since we might feel like gods, but we
really aren't. At least you all aren't. ;)

Sdrager,

... For some reason, this whole conversation feels familiar.
