Guest guest Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Hi Lou: Is it possible that your Darwin Awards could include a mediocrity division. It could easily include Rick as he is done much to damage EMS, like right to work, at will employment, toleration of the Medicaid/Medicare fraud. Also, bringing the National Registry which could be an optional test,a 4 year cert, as we now have, but we can start doing our own test as we did in the past. We as EMS personnel can save our hard owned money and this is a compromise                                         \  Regards                               rabbiems, SSG.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Texas' Right to Work Law (Title III, Chapter 101; V.T.C.A., Labor Code Sec. 101.001 et seq.) was enacted in 1993 under Governor Ann s. As far as the ambulance fraud is concerned, I believe that the AG's MFCU, OIG, FBI and the US Attorney's are doing as good as can be expected under the circumstances, given the scope of the fraudulent activity and the resources they have to investigate and prosecute the bad actors.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Lou: Why is Texas among the lowest paid EMS personnel, also how come many countys can't afford EMS in Texas,(Balmorhea). Why must EMS personnel be hired at will? I find NREMT to a reasonable testing guideline. Texas did it better up to 1995 or 1996 until NREMT got exclusive rights to our testing. Alot of this was done by Rick budget cuts, politics has nothing to do with this. Medicaid,and Medicare fraud still runs rampant despite our best efforts especially in major metropolitan areas. I do see greed as a key reason why, especially with many owners rabbiems.SSG. Rick " Doc " Borenstein Retired  ________________________________ To: " texasems-l " texasems-l > Sent: Tuesday, March 6, 2012 9:57 AM Subject: Re: Darwin Awards 2011  Hi Lou: Is it possible that your Darwin Awards could include a mediocrity division. It could easily include Rick as he is done much to damage EMS, like right to work, at will employment, toleration of the Medicaid/Medicare fraud. Also, bringing the National Registry which could be an optional test,a 4 year cert, as we now have, but we can start doing our own test as we did in the past. We as EMS personnel can save our hard owned money and this is a compromise                                         \  Regards                               rabbiems, SSG.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Lou: Why is Texas among the lowest paid EMS personnel, also how come many countys can't afford EMS in Texas,(Balmorhea). Why must EMS personnel be hired at will? I find NREMT to a reasonable testing guideline. Texas did it better up to 1995 or 1996 until NREMT got exclusive rights to our testing. Alot of this was done by Rick budget cuts, politics has nothing to do with this. Medicaid,and Medicare fraud still runs rampant despite our best efforts especially in major metropolitan areas. I do see greed as a key reason why, especially with many owners rabbiems.SSG.
