Re: Maui air ambulance crash
Competition in the air ambulance market for Hawai'i is really heating up now. Besides Hawai'i Air Ambulance, there are now 4 other companies filing certificates of need with the State. At the very least, this competition will be good for the residents of the neighbor islands who up until now had to rely solely on Hawai'i Air Ambulance to transport special care patients to Honolulu.
If I was in the Legislature, I'd choose at least 2 carriers to provide the services so that if there were issues with one service, there would still be adequate backup to transport seriously ill patients, as long as the Neighbor Islands don't have the same level of tertiary care services that Honolulu can provide.
