To be more succinct, I don't necessarily think it's a good discussion to say all of health care at times. EMS staffing, resources and equipment age/availability specifically is in really bad shape.

Not commenting, but I honestly believe that the broad stroke slash on health spending by the government affected and hurt EMS programs more than the programs staffed by the average doctors and nurses.

But that's a different discussion.
The irony is that this specific program actually helps to address the EMS issues.
