Is CA Government Bureaucracy Ripping Off Ambulance Workers

Special Investigation: The State of California MediCal insurance reimbursement rate for private ambulance companies is some of the lowest in the United States. How is this possible when California has a massive economy coupled with the fact that President Biden upon taking office immediately bailed out his Blue State Governor buddies with COVID relief totaling billions of dollars. These days California should now have some extra cash in the coffers to reimburse private ambulance companies and their EMTs with some more money. Well not according to thousands of private ambulance workers who claim State of California bureaucracy is ripping them off. These ambulance workers say an employee at Target and Starbucks or even MacDonald’s can earn more money than they do. And the ambulance workers tell reporter David Nazar that this is an insult given the fact EMTs save lives and put their own lives on the line everyday versus people who they say flip burgers or sell cafe lattes for a living. Reporter David Nazar investigates.
