EMS does not go a good enough job of speaking the same brand of language as your local congress critter. Additional factors complicate matters: there's too much patronage in the system (in my area at least), too many conflicts of interest and don't even forget about that too many in EMS (and the fire service by extension) too often either have a chip on their shoulders or are in cahoots with the politicos in question. <br><br>A culture shift will have to take place on many levels.

EMS doesn't have political clout and I don't see it happening in the future. Paramedics, let alone EMTs, don't have the training or education to act as gatekeepers. If someone decides that what we call EMS is going to do this function they are either going to educate us to be able to do it or, and this is far more likely, change the definition of who works in EMS. Which means other medical personnel are going to end up doing it. He's an engineer, but he's not a politician. EMS doesn't have political clout and I don't see it happening in the future.
