In my state SAR is free unless the person was doing something really dumb. Eg. Avalanche victim = free. Vs. Hypothermia evac from winter hiking without a coat = ~$2k total.

$2000?!?! I got charged $3000 for a 15-minute EMS transport. They didn't even perform any medical care.

This sounds like bullshit, and if it's true, arbitrary.
