Tom:  Throughout history, successful governments have been those who were 
protectors.   Failing governments have been those who attempted to be providers.

none the less the solutions are political. since rescue is
unpredictable all citizens are potential users, thus all are
stakeholders. In this sense elected government has its role. Whether
Gov. needs to exercise more or less control is dependent on the problem.
You began this discussion stating that use / cost/ risk of this service
were out of control. in this situation where the providers of a service
are out of control,  Gov. acting as the protector should logically
exercise a leadership role to regulate/find funding. It is lack of
governance that makes your system costly and inequitable.
