I've never seen a need for medical evacuation insurance - rescue insurance - if staying in USA. Mention of it in another thread made me curious. SAR in US seems to be paid for by taxpayers, with a few jurisdictions allowing billing the rescuee where frivolous or due to negligence beyond the pale. I accept that if in BWCA for example, i might end up in a hospital in Ely or Duluth, not transported to a provider near me or of my choice, but I can deal with that. I'm not sure what happens if I'm in Canada. And were I paddling in Vietnam, you bet I'd have it, but that won't happen.
Thoughts?
