Former AMR employee, over 5 yrs in Columbia, S.C. until they got bought out my current employer - Medshore Ambulance. I was part of the disaster relief team that helped out with Katrina and helped out our operation in Gulfport, Miss. What an awesome experience to help out those employees. Gulfport was harder hit than New Orleans was but all you heard about was how bad it was in New Orleans. I would love to go back to Gulfport and see how much it has changed and improved. If anybody has been back recently, Let me know. And if anybody has any recent pictures of Gulfport, would you post them, I would like to see them. Thank you.

That is where it gets tough because honestly I don't think that any of the systems are particularly good.
Private - holds more accountability because they can usually be fined for poor performance but charge more for service and pay can be significantly less.
Fire Based - fire gets most of the funding that is supposed to be for EMS and the medics/EMTs are usually not treated very well by the firefighters and the fire bosses.
County/City - not enough accountability and lack of funding

But it not only that they don't offer the pay that others do. EMS is an expensive business to run. The more appropriate question is probably should EMS be run for profit or would EMS be better off if it was run by the county or state in such fashion as in Austin, Texas or similar or should it be run for profit like AMR with shareholders wanting their share.
It is fundamentally wrong to run a business where the employees have to have a second job to make ends meet, in addition to the fact as Jesse pointed out the drain of experience and knowledge by losing the very experienced employees or the most passionate about the profession in it self.
So, when we all agree that something is wrong what are we willing to do to change this?

That is just the problem.....there is a majority of EMS providers that are using EMS as a stepping stone to FD, Nurse, PA, or med school. The reason is that EMS does not provide the pay that the others do. It simply isn't a realistic career anymore, if it ever was, because a provider has to work tons of overtime or have a second job to make ends meet. We are in danger of EMS becoming a "fast food" like business, where folks just use it for a few years and leave to better things. Downside, there will less and less experience on an ambulance and that is detrimental to the customer in need.
