Guest guest Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Why yes I do Dr. Pangloss, my son says it is Friday and he has the weekend off from school. So for him, that is good news. Now back to our program. wegandy1938@... wrote: I should not post this because (1) it does not reflect a " feelgood " point of view and (2) it mentions a provider by name in a not completely positive way and (3) it implies that all is not well in EMS. I do not have all the facts, so I should not post this until I do and have thoroughly vetted them. Also, the authors may be jumping to conclusions before all the facts are in; in fact, it may all be a complete lie or rumor. It sounds like the hysterical whining of Chicken Little. So, I'm not really posting it, because it's negative toward EMS and a city and a provider and the government and Medicare and insurance companies. It's not posted; it's just " here. " So don't read it. Be happy. All is well. Thanks for all you do. Doesn't anybody have any good news to post?

As you can see, EMS is collapsing- volunteer services are going under, Rural Metro doesn't want to pay EMTs Buffalo's prevailing wage EMS is underfunded across the board. Both private insurance and the federal government do not reimburse adequately for prehospital care, stuck in the days when all the Ambulance Drivers did was carry the patient to the hearse and drive them to the hospital. Then you get into a situation like in Buffalo, where Rural Metro has to pay the city in order to provide service to the city (as opposed to the city paying the ambulance service).
