Funny how anybody can call a SWAT team for free that costs taxpayers upwards of $10,000 per instance, but god forbid a $1000 ambulance ride gets financed by taxes
in italy ambulances are mostly run by ngo-like red cross organization: the building is leased for free by the township, the ambulances are donated by local car dealers or by local fundraising, 80% of the workforce are volunteers. they are free to end users. Still there are private ambulances for specific services but are reasonable priced
