There's greed (particularly with overpriced private ambulances) but ambulance are legitimately expensive to operate in the USA. And as fucked up as it is: a good part of the bill is subsidizing the people that can't or won't pay.

There are areas that will subsidize most (or even all) of the cost, making it cheap or free -- we're one of them. But that money comes from taxes and in large parts in this country that's a four letter word.
