Pay for full time, beat-walking emergency medical technicians in shitty neighborhoods. This would prevent a lot of unneeded hospital visits and offer basic health services. A lot cheaper than 911 calls. I imagine having people on the ground would prevent a lot of problems.

- yishanl 11y agoWould this really be cheaper? It's an awful lot of man hours committed to just one area vs. a centralized one that can dedicate the time/effort/resources accordingly based on needs and corresponding urgency. Also one of the bigger question would still be how would these EMTs have their equipment with them + how would quality of care be ensured?
- brador 11y agoThere are some European Jewish communities that do this. Example: NW London has community funded Jewish ambulances.
