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.
I doubt that we have a 'massive fleet' of ambulances, not with all the cutbacks the NHS haS suffered.
