Obviously emergency healthcare services are more of a necessity than transportation, I thought I made that clear. But in what way is transportation nothing but a luxury? How do you get to your job, or to the store, or to the hospital if you can't afford an ambulance? Edit: I want to add that there are extremist types who think that if you can't afford emergency healthcare, you shouldn't get it. We may just fundamentally disagree about that. I think we need to use a combination of publicly funded services (yes, by taking money from the extremely wealthy) and regulation on basic necessities to ensure that everyone has access to a minimally dignified life.
