Should hospitals be responsible for an ambulance bill if you needed ground transport to another facility?

I don’t think it’s fair that a patient should have to pay an ambulance bill if a hospital called an ambulance without their consent. You never told the hospital to transport via ambulance to another hospital or facility. Healthcare is so backwards to me, they should make it a law for hospitals to be responsible for ambulance bills. There should also be a law mandating health insurance companies to pay the full ambulance bill regardless of network status. Health insurance companies need heavy mandates and penalties to keep them in check.
