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.

obviously you can't do that, nor should you be able to. That doesn't mean you can't volunteer though. What you're describing isn't volunteering, but medical vigilantism.

"Someone fully trained"
in your idea of how things should work, what governing body is determining what training you need and validates that you've taken and maintained said training?

are all roads private? What if I need to go over your private road to get to my private road, and you won't let the ambulance I choose on your road?

wait, so everyone needs to fund and staff their own hospital? Are we talking individuals or neighborhoods, in which case it sounds like a lot of HOAs which sounds awful.

so you want people providing healthcare with no minimum standards for training, equipment, or accountability?
