Health, Safety Should Be Top Concerns

Re: Ventura’s newest paramedics.

Please help me understand why a county should regulate the ambulance business? Bottom line, the health and safety of the citizens must come first. If the city of Ventura or San Bernardino can respond faster than private industry, it makes sense that it would stay public.

What is private industry afraid of?

It makes sense that using the city’s paramedics would save precious time since Ventura’s dispatcher received the call. Also, Ventura Fire Department practices with the Ventura paramedics. Just like football, the more you practice the better you play. Teamwork is essential.

I think the residents of the city of Ventura should decide what ambulance they want--not the state Supreme Court.
