A while back a couple girls went hiking here in California. They climbed a mountain if I remember right. Anyway, they didn't "feel" like climbing down so they called 911 or some emergency line. A chopper came in to pick them up. They later received a bill for $5k.

Non-emergencies should absolutely be charged. Thats just ridiculous. Tying up resources for mere stupidity/laziness. But I'm pretty sure real emergencies get plenty of leeway. If you go to the hospital with a screwdriver in your head, they aren't going to turn you away because you can't afford it.
