I wouldn’t advocate no govt regulations but less is definitely better.
Govt has a way of making things less efficient with worse results.
Personally, I think the fire/ ambulance department should be privatized.
This will lead to competition and ultimately better results.
Q- How is it that Hatzalah (volunteer) comes so much faster? A- Because they are motivated to.
I’ve seen bills from the Ambulance department (Not Hatzalah) and they get paid big bucks from Insurance. Why can’t they compete with Hatzalah?
EMT’s would be a lot more motivated if there was competition.
I don’t like the membership idea for the FD but something like insurance paying but with competition. (like doctors, dentists etc.)
People could keep handy the number of the company they know is the fastest, most skilled etc.
There could even be companies that don’t accept insurance and that’s fine.- I’m thinking of a few instances how and why that would work.
With a bit of creative thinking we could replace a majority of govt agencies with a more effective solution.
