If the Fire Department Were Run Like Healthcare…


https://www.healthcare-now.org/blog/if-the-fire-department-were-run-like-healthcare/

During a press conference prior to the first of six public hearings held by the New York Assembly across the state, Assemblyman Richard Gottfried, Chair of the Assembly Health Committee since 1987, was asked by a reporter whether his legislation for universal, public health coverage for all of New York would limit patients’ choice of providers… Watch as Assemblyman Gottfried flips the script on the reporter, and paints a picture of how inhumane and dysfunctional our fire services would be if they worked like the U.S. healthcare system!
