Same thing this morning,golf cart accident at the entrance to the golf cart bridge,medical copter took patient elsewhere, less than 1 mile to Villages Hospital.
Does anyone know how much it costs to be air lifted instead of going to The Villages Hospital.
Apparently we must keep supporting the medical copter.
Comments please?

Funny, I thought of exactly the same thing yesterday. I wonder if, since insurance pays for ambulance, they use the helicopter ambulance whether it's really needed or not.
