I don't really care as a whole, I'm glad there's a stop gap for the people who would genuinely need this. My complaint is mostly the people I know personally who are doing this. Both families are not broke, and could be doing better if the father actually worked.
The ambulance rides do tie up the system however. I have a cousin who is an EMT and between rescuing overdoses he has regulars they have to taxi because they have a cold, or something else trivial. There is public transportation, but even that would cost them personally and requires waiting. It's probably better to let a few selfish people take advantage of the system in the long run, but it amazes me how selfish some people can be when there's people in real need out there.
If people are willing to go through that much trouble just to get from A to B or to save a few dollars on diapers, there's something wrong.
They're investing hours and go through quite a hassle just to possibly save single digit amounts of dollars.
You don't do this if you don't think you have to.
