Dozens Sound Alarm on Proposed Montgomery County Ambulance Fee

Debate over proposed ambulance fee wages on in Montgomery County

There is no end in sight to a debate over a proposed ambulance fee in Montgomery County.

Those for and against the fee squared off in Rockville Tuesday night.

County Executive Ike Leggett says the county desperately needs the money.  The fee would be waived, however, for patients without health insurance.  Patients with health insurance would be reimbursed.

The County Council approved similar legislation two years ago, but it was voted down in a referendum.

According to the Washington Post, volunteer firefighters promised to bring the current bill to a public vote again if the county council approves it.
