    Makes me feel really grateful where i live we have a volunteer EMS that is funded by private community donations and staffed by many rotating volunteers. They have a system where volunteers take calls closest to them. Most calls dont actually need an ambulence so when possible they just use their own cars, which have EMS sirens. The system works so well that their response time is 2-4 minutes and often faster.

      no, instead you wait 7 hours for an ambulance, and if you have a possible life threatening condition they tell you to pay for a taxi because the ambulance "is not a taxi service" so instead the taxis are the ambulance service so its a private ambulance service anyway

      They portrayed something similar in Gangs of New York with the fire departments being basically gangs themselves and fighting each other to loot burning properties and letting them burn down, while blocking hydrants so other squads wouldn't be able to put out the fire. Not sure how historically accurate that whole thing is, but it's bonkers to think about.

    It is a little complicated to explain but in NYC, EMS is not only operated by the fire department (FDNY) but also there are hospital ambulance units, volunteer ambulance units, private ambulance units and even a police ambulance. This is because the FDNY has always been understaffed and underequipped, it would be impossible for them to take on all the calls in the largest city in America. Thus all these other ambulance units exist all operating within the 911 system.

      In other countries, where the budget for medical departments is low, and there's rampant unemployment, people started to make their own ambulance businesses, like not even big companies behind them that could make them professional, a lot are just amateurs that had just passed a first aid course, and carry the minimum equipment required by law.
      Some almost live within the ambulances they own, and do actually race with other ambulances, whether they're carrying patients or not.
      On top of that, private clinics and small private hospitals endorse this behavior by paying for the amount of patients they deliver, so instead of taking a patient to the nearest hospital, ambulances take them to the hospital that puts a bigger bid.
      A lot of this is taken from "Familia de Medianoche" not the series, the documentary, that follows a family that runs one of these ambulances within Mexico City, one of the most populated cities in the world, that's also one of the most insecure in its own country, a Country that has low medical budget.

      In smaller places where the hospital can cover the whole town, they do. Larger cities (like New York) where multiple hospitals are needed will have drawn up EMS response jurisdictions to maximize efficiency and those are usually directed or funded by the City itself through their First Responders (Usually the Fire Department) and therefore usually underfunded and poorly managed by bureaucrats that don't have to actually work those positions (and ironically are probably clients of private EMS services).
      Private companies sprang up both to cope with and take advantage of this gap, being contracted out by the city (although at lower costs than the overhead for running a public EMS service) and a separate billing structure for patients, ironically contributing to the bureaucracy that's essentially strangling the City EMS Services.
      TL;DR: it depends on where you live and how big it is.

      Yes, they are.
      Think about it:
      why are you charged for your ambulance ride separately from your medical expenses? Why is it so high? Because they are a private business. That’s why ambulance bills are 1-3k. They know they are needed and they Jack up the price taking advantage of the situation. These companies even have debt collection firms to chase those bills. Remember, hospitals do in fact compete. They compete for the skilled workers, the reputation, and that sweet insurance money.

    This whole scenario makes no sense even for a TV drama. I get them speeding to get the extra patient/customer but why would they go overboard speeding to get back to the hospital? The patient is already in the ambulance its not like they can get out and walk home, plus the guy's life wasn't in danger, yet the driver was going beyond the limit even by normal ambulance standards. It's not like paramedics are written up by how fast or slow they go as long as the patient is stable. Second what is the deal with this private ambulance argument? Maybe I'm missing something but seriously how big a deal is this? I've never even heard about it in real life just in another show 9-1-1 Lone Star.

      Privately owned ambulance companies are extremely common, in major cities in particular (no clue why someone is claiming this pertains to suburbs). In LA and Las Vegas there are numerous ambulance companies, some with government contracts and others with specific hospitals. And they indeed do compete for patients; private companies need them for pure revenue and the government needs them to justify their ongoing budget. Your first question should be self evident from what I just stated. Patient turnover is critical to keeping their funding/# of positions and equipment, and for the private companies, it’s for their bottom lines. You seem to have missed the point of the fictional corruption since you didn’t understand the foundational facts re competition driving this kind of outcome-to justify their continued existence (a common motivation). Getting a patient in and out, i.e., to the hospital faster frees them up to go grab another patient (who may or may not require transportation via ambulance). The need to transport patients faster should be self evident.

      @CCFrostbite True, but you know the lawyers would say the driver of the vehicle wouldn't be able to hit the ambulance if they were not engaging in that behavior or out of their own jurisdiction. It's all so complex that the case can get bogged down in legal technicality very quickly.

      Yeah seriously how realistic is this? It seems far fetched that private ambulances are that big of a threat.
