How is Privately Provided Ambulance Service Different?
[top] A: Unlike certain other public services that are supported by tax revenue, private ambulance services are funded by user fees. Tax payers fund public services such as fire and police protection whether they use those services or not. Private ambulance services are typically not subsidized by tax revenue and rely solely on revenue generated when patients use ambulance transportation services. Under a private ambulance service system, you only pay for those services when you use them.
