That seems surprisingly ignorant. In NZ you can easily live four hours' drive from a hospital and it's taken for granted that emergencies will require helicopter transport (although you don't have to pay for them). And that's in a country only around 268,000 square kilometres large. Granted, it's extremely mountainous with a sparse population in most places, but still, I'd have thought you'd assume in the wide spaces of the US that the same would apply in many places.
