Even countries with universal health insurance usually won't cover helicopter rescue, you need travel insurance which covers mountaineering. Or you have to risk paying, it's like 5k I've heard.

In Canada we have universal healthcare but also ambulance fees. The healthcare may be free, but getting to it isn't.

For the record, if anyone is in a serious situation and needs rescue, SAR is free in the US. A medical helicopter, on the other hand, is not.

Sources about U.S. being the worst at health care in the world?
replies:
I can't believe this is the only comm that will not throw a hissy fit about this.
What the actual fuck are you talking about? This is fodder for all communities on this platform.
You would have to provide sources, but I'd allow it.
As I said in another thread: Even if cost weren’t a factor, if I can walk out of there it’s a waste to use a helicopter.

The Budj Bim Cultural Landscape in southwestern Victoria is home to one of the oldest and most extensive aquaculture systems on Earth, built by the Gunditjmara people to farm kooyang — the short-finned eel (Anguilla australis).
About 6,600 years ago — and possibly much earlier — the Gunditjmara used the basalt rock from ancient lava flows of the Budj Bim volcano to construct a sophisticated network of channels, weirs, dams, and ponds across roughly 100 square kilometres around Lake Condah. Some stone channels were dug up to 200 metres long to divert water and exploit seasonal water-level changes, creating a managed wetland factory that trapped, stored, and harvested migrating eels.
