I'm assuming the winky face means you're pulling the piss ;) ;)

I had never ridden in an ambulance until this year, and there have been two seperate occasions, each costing me over $3000. For the sake of 50 bucks, its a no-brainer.
I've got private health insurance which I hardly ever use, but it was cheaper to pay the premium for the year than the ambulance cost. I understand that this may be different for other people.
