Uber and Ambulances

Two economists conclude that Uber availability has reduced EMS ambulance transport by 7 percent in major U.S. cities.

Really?

I have been writing about Uber and ambulances for a couple of years and I am always a proponent of patients receiving the right care (which includes transport as a treatment) at the right time.

Read my thoughts on “Is Uber really decreasing ambulance usage?” at EMS1.com.
