Representing Ohio Citizens or Insurance?
In response to the article in the Dayton Daily News, we must ask the question: Is Ohio Representative Michael Henne pro-Ohio citizens’ safety or pro-insurance bailout? Fire Stations are geographically located to respond quickly. In a medical emergency, every second counts. Paramedics stabilize the victim on scene and during transport to the hospital, which is often at least 20 minutes away. It is cost prohibitive for private ambulance services to appropriately staff simply waiting for a medical emergency transportation. Insurance companies are federally mandated to make payment for EMS services, not taxes. Rep. Henne should review his own insurance policy and he would understand that ambulance services are already listed in policies. If payments for EMS services ceased to exist, taxes could not possibly cover the service. Is it possible that Ohio Representative Henne seriously wants to be responsible for introducing legislation that would effectively end the ability of Ohio citizens to call 911 and actually receive a response?
