downpunxx"So the billionaires’ families are gonna get billed for all of this like the time my family got billed for my ambulance ride, right? Right?"
talIf this is referring to the submarine rescue, generally-speaking, rescue efforts by the US Coast Guard or the Park Service or the like are paid for by the government. Interestingly, at least for the Park Service, this is the opposite of the situation with Europe, where it's common to have rescue insurance if one is heading out into the wilderness hiking or whatnot. This is the reverse of the situation with medical services.
Which means ultimately it's paid by us.
