Thoughts on Ambulance Service
Emergency medical service is essential to every family in our county. The question before us is how to fund it in a way that is affordable, fair, and reliable.
Many residents are concerned about higher taxes, and that concern is valid. Families are already dealing with rising costs. That is why we should look at alternate funding solutions that spread responsibility fairly instead of relying only on taxpayers.
Our local hospital should also share in this responsibility.
Reliable ambulance service benefits the hospital, patients, and the entire healthcare system. Some may question added costs if call volume has declined, but EMS is about readiness.
