In this particular case, she probably had no clue she was hurt for a while. So EMS or whatever should not even enter into the equation.
Had she not been a celeb, she may have gone for an ambulance ride which would have saved her life, if nothing more than by ground.
We can get into a big debate over how good is health care in the states. The answer is, its as good as you have money to buy. Im fortunate as I have Military. Its Good but there is better, I just cannot afford it.
As for EMS Helicopters/Fixed Wing. Its all about the money. Some of the Hospitals I have been, should I need it, I just hope I have enough breath to say somewhere else.
Response time. Consider in many places in the states, response time is in hours. Thats the way it goes. Helicopters are like Cell Phones, if there is little business there is little service. Again $$$$$$$
