There are systems in place to punish people for false accusations. We don't fuck over a victim just because there is an occasional liar.

No I'm not kidding. Sure right, Mr. Pagones' reputation has be retcified because of Tawana's lie. Justice has been served. 
Actually, there is mounting costs for all of these technologies, and yes, sometimes families are being charged with associated costs. Ambulances aren't necessarily free rides to the ER. There's a cost to them and they bill back depending on state and county.
I'm not saying it's right or wrong, I'm saying there's fiscacal accountability that is required. If you're saying it's to come from the tax base as a whole great, increase taxes accordingly. It hasn't been happening enough, there's not ever enough taxes being paid apparently to cover the costs of running things.
