Because people who might need urgent medical treatment might die, while ambulances, and their trained staff, ferry non-urgent cases to and from hospital, is reason enough in my book.
I'm sure we could all have an ambulance at our disposal 24/7 if we all paid more tax. Not really sound economics though, and I'm sure the money would be better spent on treating actual illnesses, rather than funding a massive fleet of big white taxis, with a flashing blue light on top.
