Four Clare county private ambulance operators warned at a Wednesday meeting that rising costs and new Medicare pay rules will force the service to end by year’s end. They cited annual losses of 1500 to 2000 dollars, insurance costs, depreciation, and the need for Red Cross Advanced First Aid trained staff on every call as key obstacles. Public agencies in other counties have already stepped in to run ambulance service.
