Emergency services for a fee
My recommendation would be to make ambulance services paid. Since I work in the ambulance service in Tallinn, I see how many calls are not emergencies but rather a convenience service. It’s easy to call 112, and three staff members come and give paracetamol – people have no sense of responsibility for their health at all, nor for their children. ‘I am a taxpayer, and I can call an ambulance whenever I want’ is a quite common phrase told to the crew. It’s sad. The state’s budget suffers, and so do those who are genuinely in need of emergency care!

Additional suggestions
An Estonian person waits for the 12th hour with a heart attack, thinking, ‘Why should I bother anyone?’ They could never afford such a service themselves, and many have been ‘saving up’ their whole lives just to get help in a dire emergency. The person making the suggestion is probably healthy and young.
