"Why should my taxes pay for a "fire department"? My house isn't on fire!"

The real problem is that they then demand that the fire get put out at cost without understanding that the cost is cheaper when you do prevention.

This is one of the reasons that US health care is so expensive. People use emergency rooms for basic health care, which they only go to when things get so bad they have to. Because health care premiums and copays and deductables are so high.
