These are 'average' times, but there is no way you have 7 minute averages if ANYONE is waiting for days.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-healt...SKBN1A42KQ

On average in the U.S., the length of time between a call for help and the arrival of emergency medical services is about eight minutes - but that rose to 14 minutes in rural areas (where about 10 percent of patients waited nearly 30 minutes), researchers found.

And Ambulance services don't who your insurer is

this story can be effectively 'sold' without hyperbole... thanks
