I agree with @Specialmom! If you're not in true labor then there's no emergency.

Yes, it does and probably should cost money.  I think one of the reasons is so that an ambulance is reserved for true emergencies.  Picking someone up for a ride into the hospital takes away from the possibility of someone else having a heart attack getting life saving help.

If you're in the US, the cost of emergency services depends on the state you live in. I grew up in Iowa, and you had to pay for calling for an ambulance. But where I live now, it's covered by tax dollars.
