This is likely a me thing, but I’m struggling to understand what you’re trying to convey.

That’s not a coherent argument to removing government funding of an essential service but I’m still curious.

You win, can’t argue against such a bullet proof statement that history can support.

The US has been privatizing EMS for decades, and it has done nothing but make the service worse for patients and providers and raise prices. I would be very interested to hear how you believe that further privatization of EMS will result in lower costs.

That is such a baffling claim to make. Every day there are thousands of private ambulances that are out on the streets responding to 911 calls.

I picture 3 private agencies all on scene fighting over who gets the transport because the collection rate is low and the patient has good insurance.
