Will citizens be reluctant to call for an ambulance if they know they will receive a bill?
EMS services are traditionally used by individuals who are having an acute or emergency situation and there is no evidence that an entity's seeking reimbursement for EMS services plays a role in a person's decision to call 911. No one who calls 911 will ever be denied treatment or transport to a hospital because they lack healthcare insurance.
