Oh stop crying, you've got a health care.
Try living in America, where you pay for your own doctor visits. You'll live.
And more than likely they'll use donations to pay off the rescue, not tax money.
Let me know the next time you spend 3000 dollars out of your own pocket on a ER visit, or 6600$ on your teeth.
Really, let me know.
They're helping someone, that's what you should be paying the Coast Guard etc to do. If you had gotten stuck out on a boat off the coast of Oregon, how would you like it if we waited for some person to take their sweet time and come and save you?

I'm disgusted by many of the posts I have just read. I would not mind my taxes being used to save a little girl. Some of ATS really need to grow up and stop being so selfish.

Everyone's up in arms about a 16 y/o American girl, mostly because she failed.
Nobody bothers talking about the 16 y/o who succeeded in navigating around the world just a few months ago. www.jessicawatson.com.au...

Are you kidding me? The Australian tax-payer is being forced to pay for the rescue of a girl involved in a media stunt that should have never happened in the first place.
