I guess the difference is that Ambulances are needed for a wide variety of health related emergencies. So we can't seem to do without them and we don't have a choice. Perhaps some people do get a false sense of security knowing that an ambulance can get to them in a few minutes. Some people think the community health system will do it all with no healthy-lifestyle effort needed on their part. Policemen and firemen? You can be in the best of health and you still might need them.

Heck, a house instead of a tent as protection from a thunder, lightning, hail, or wind storm is a false sense of security, too. So should everybody live in a tent because that is "healthier" and closer to nature, too?

LOL, the main problem here is that I wouldn't be able to fit all of my creature comforts into a tent, and I like comfort (not to be confused with comfort foods). Being closer to nature is not always healthier. I don't think my air conditioner will work very well in a tent. Also, I need my stove, refrigerator, kitchen cabnets, sink and counter tops to prepare healthy meals. Seriously, would I be able to perpare healthy meals in a tent?
