I agree. That number is bullshit. I Googled about it. It looks like 350K to 600K USD. Also, there is wild variance in vehicle sizes and the equipment you choose to carry.
At least one city I lived in it was well known that you wanted to only ask for the fire department, because they would call an ambulance company via cell directly, and that one was significantly cheaper than the one 911 would dispatch. It was also much closer to a van with a stretcher in it; the 911 ambulance was a mini hospital on wheels.
