I don't believe there is a problem of people needlessly calling ambulances.

If that was the case, the appropriate response would not be to charge everyone bank breaking fees for it.

    We seem to in Japan. I see posters here every now and then. It basically says, "are you sure it's an emergency," and lists symptoms that might not be appropriate for calling an ambulance like having a slight fever or a hangover.

    If that's the case, I imagine it would be better to charge people for frivolous use, rather than charge everyone. Or come up with a system where dispatch sends something else for non-emergency, if you can tell.

    I'm not a policy expert, but the current system is bad for everyone.
