  • There was a really good video of a news anchor at the time breaking down precisely why it was such a bad idea, and everything he predicted in that video has come true in the years since.

    I can’t find it, I can’t remember his name or what station it was. But I saw it on a thread a few months ago and it was really good.

    I know this comment is useless without the link, but if anyone knows what I’m talking about feel free to post it













  • You pretty much addressed my responses to the first half of your comment in the second half.

    That all sounds like reasons why the city/county/municipality/state should pay for EMS services.

    People are already paying taxes, so it’s not unreasonable for them to expect the governments that they’re funding to provide the critical services that everyone needs. It’s in everyone’s interest to have a smoothly-operating EMS service that doesn’t need to be run likely a business.

    Tax money already pays for police, and their budgets are already bloated as is. Why the hell can’t tax money be used to pay for all those costs of maintaining an EMS service? No one should be landed with a multi-thousand dollar bill for having a medical emergency.

    Healthcare in general should run this way, but especially emergency medical services. It’s absurd that it isn’t. But too many americans are afraid of the big scary “socialism,” so they continue to let billionaire oligarchs fuck them over like this. It’s insane.
