In Switzerland the system is actually pretty good - ambulances are private companies, it cost +-500$ to get transport to hospital. This is not true for the entire country. Emergency services are usually organized on a local level. For example: In the city of Zurich emergency services are run by the city (which also serves 17 additional communities). It's very much a publicly owned and operated enterprise. In addition there are private services, but on a very limited manner. For example: The orthodox jewish community runs its own ambulance service.
