    Pretty sure the reason to use private companies as they won’t have to deal with unions if the employees were county employees like police and fire fighters. So they can pay less collect more money

      I can understand why current ambulance service owners want to charge more and pay less.

      I don’t understand why rival services dont appear and give better wages for a cheaper service.

      Where are the Uber ambulance companies?

        Because people who don’t have money or insurance are already using Uber as an ambulance service. Uber is the Uber ambulance company.
