This is the libertarian dream come true, no free rides you have to pay for everything!!! Bravo this should teach other heroes there are no free rides on the tax payers dime!! This libertarian dream is seconded only to that fire dept that watched a house bUrn down because the owner didn't pay a $200 fee ahead of time..
It's time people stop feeling entitled to free emergency care on the tax payers dime!

Paying a second time for a service that was supposedly already paid for through taxation = Liberatarianism

That sounds more like typical government-run incompetence and corruption to me.
I would much rather pay as needed instead of paying for everybody else.
I would much rather pay a fire company for coverage that I could sue if they don't respond in a timely manner instead of paying the taxes to cover the inefficient and mismanaged government-run fire departments where I don't have any recourse in cases of incompetence.
