Question

What was the most significant governmental action in the 1960s and 1970s to radically change the EMS situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Several Medical and Law experts gathered together and debated the formation of a new half government half privatized department to assist the Fire Department and Police in the field faster than the hospital could. In fact back then even experts debated to make a law that drivers must yield to emergency vehicles. However that law didn't  become official until 1996 when a Paramedic was struck and killed by another vehicle.
