State Health Authority in talks to assume EMS Services

It's in talks; the San Andreas State Health Authority is considering assuming all EMS Operations within the state.

This would mean a centralized dispatch, and EMS system. 

"It would essentially eradicate all other EMS services, and replace them with a central service under the state." said Ross Bugley, spokesman for SASHA.

"It would make things more fluid and simple."

However, not everyone agrees. Multiple EMS workers within the state are up in arms about the idea.

"Personally, if they put everyone under the same system, what does that mean for me? Sure, I might get to keep my job as a Paramedic, but my pay is going to go down. I guarantee it." said a Paramedic, who wishes to remain anonymous.

"We know that people will be defensive about the change, we planned for that. We assure all EMS workers that they will not lose their positions and that we will do the best we can to keep their original salaries in place." - Ross Bugley.

The next few months will be interesting, to see how the SASHA handles the situation and how EMS officials take the changes that are being brought up.
