Oh sure he was billed for the ambulance, but what about all the other associated medical care at the ER and any followups?

Sure maybe here in the City, but some small town kids have to play with guys much older if they want to play at all. When I was 10 I was playing with/against some kids who were 14-15, it was the only team in town.
And I just thought I'd add that paying for ambulances is one of those things which has just never made sense to me even if it's covered by private insurance for the vast majority of people. We'll pay 10s of thousands of dollars to fix you up, but you gotta cover transport to get there...
