It has nothing to do with whether they are insured or not. It has to do with whether or not there is a genuine need for them to be transported by ambulance. Probably 40% of the people we transport do not need an ambulance and would be better off making an appointment with their PCP instead of going to the ER.

I believe it was Max who pointed out at an earlier date that dictatorship and socialism are not mutually exclusive just as democracy and laissez faire capitalism are not mutually exclusive.

You're a moronic asshole. If the government was actually accountable for its actions, this would change. Too bad they're more worried about pissing off campaign contributors and corporations than voters.

Thank you for your
opinion on the function of government. Duhhh... let me just check my pocket PC and see if I care about your ignorant opinion. Oh, look! I don't! Hehehehe
Some of us are willing to take it upon ourselves to ensure the well-being of our fellow human beings. Some of us are selfish, arrogant, ignorant pricks who, while claiming to be followers of the Christian faith, care nothing about the neighbors they are supposed to love as they love themselves.
