Then again, those worried/neurotic parents - and believe me most of them probably don't wake up thinking "how can I undermine healthcare in my country today?" - are taxpayers, the people chipping in to "the system" as a whole. This government spunks its money - OUR money - on useless wars and IT-related disasters, then we're supposed to feel bad if we make a mistake. I'm against anyone wasting the time of the emergency services (duh) but I'm also against a system that ringfences billions for pointless wars and IT systems that destroy lives (re the CSA suicides, the upcoming ID card disaster) while cutting back on ESSENTIAL services because us naughty taxpayers - their employers - screw up sometimes. You get a drunk guy with "chest pains" wasting as much taxpayer's money and causing as many innocent people to die as this government's policies and I'll reconsider, until then, I say the issue is to put out more ambulances, not blame the people paying for them through the nose.
