Rural areas have problems. And it’s hard to compare them as they are so different : Montana is bigger than Germany and only had like 100,000 people. Other places are not so different between the countries are not so different despite what the guy in the video is asserting.

Yes, and in the Rhineland, their target is almost 20 minutes. I suspect that the reason Germany has the law to aid ambulances is because they have significant challenges making good response times.
I’m actually surprised the situation isn’t worse in rural areas of the US as the population density is so extremely sparse in some areas, you can hardly imagine
All I see is that it’s nearly the same with the US more often being less than 8 minutes than Germany
The national target for ambulance response time in the US is 9 minutes. It’s up to 19 in Germany

That’s just one of many such. It’s about 1.5 times the mortality rate
Germany has a higher mortality rate for heart attacks than the US
That in built up areas the times are not so different. That is evident in many studies. Rural areas are incomparable as the US has rural areas at a level Germany can’t understand
