    This is much more than open competitive bidding. TranCare is a sinking ship. Good move for NR.
    Over the past year they have lost multiple major NYC contracts, had to skip payday several times and even sold their assets down in Maryland/ Delaware.
    While EMS being the red headed step child does cause issues like this, I do not believe this is one of those circumstances.
    NR is lucky to have Empress. They are an outstanding company, especially when compared to others out there. TransCare hires anybody with a pulse, while you actually have to be selected by Empress. They have higher training standards, better equipement and run a true 'high performance' system.

    This is what is wrong with the step child of emergency services. When any municipality puts EMS out to bid you do not get stability in service. Over the years every system goes through a cycle. The lowest bidder. Now most of the current EMS employees of TransCare NR will be looking to switch over to Empress. Thus losing seniority and pay grade. This is no way to maintain quality EMS personal.
    EMS must be part of the municipality just as Police and Fire is. EMS must be the third service.

    There will never be stability in EMS when there is a profit to be made.
