## Resource

Idaho’s emergency medical services are crumbling under funding pressure, forcing counties like Payette to cut ambulances and stretch response times to dangerous levels. With volunteer shortages, rising costs, and stagnant wages, paramedics are burning out and fleeing for better-paid roles—leaving communities dangerously underserved. Despite calls to treat EMS like police and fire, lawmakers remain silent, and federal grants offer only temporary fixes. Without urgent, sustainable funding, Idaho’s ability to save lives in emergencies is at serious risk. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
