Gubmit-bashing is not PARF. At least, not here anyway.
Government already provides similar services. Government does not bill people when the fire department is needed. Or police. First responders (Dial 911) are free unless someone needs to be transported. Government could expand those services to include ambulance when people need to be transported, but think of the lost revenues to the businesses which do that work.
Most first world countries have universal health care, so this is role-of-government-in emergencies question is basically an American question only.
I'd guess the folks who tried to rescue the submarine were doing so for a non-commercial purpose. Same with the boys stuck in the Thai cave.
AFAIK I have not said anything out of bounds for this forum, since government's role is not a "politics" topic.
