With the doubling of fuel costs in the U.S. EMS Providers are in a losing battle, as profits dwindle, while Administrators look for cost cutting measures to bridge the gap.
I foresee in a drastic cut in 9-1-1 response and services.
Triage-Over-the-Phone for Non-Critical Patients, and Walking Wounded=Self Transport will soon be the norm.
Its a No-Win situation until the U.S returns to Energy Independence and forget the non-attainable 100% EV vehicle mandates. The Society of Automotive Engineer (SAE) has already come out and stated that the Internal Combustion Engines will be the transportation standard in the U.S. until circa 2045 as the Horsepower to Weight Ratios and Operating Range are unattainable with EVs..
