Questions: Society & Politics

The democrats are going all in on getting and keeping illegal aliens. Inviting and enabling them to come to America and giving them thousands in welfare benefits attracted up to 20 million of them over the last 4 years. Now they are pulling out all the stops to prevent President Trump from cutting off their benefits and deporting them.

Taxpayers picked up the tab for tens of thousands of dollars to bring back a wife beating gang member.

Is this a winning strategy for winning elections?

With career/success etc… I wish women would glorify being a feminine woman more than having masculine ambition.

1. Provides immunity to anyone who applies any skill or training they possess, whether licensed or unlicensed, in the event of a medical emergency when one reasonably believes the nearest ambulance or authorized first responder is more than 15 minutes away or when a disaster occurs in the area. This excludes the administration of controlled prescription medications or pharmaceuticals not prescribed to the patient other than oxygen and standard IV fluids. This immunity expands the Good Samaritan Act to prevent individuals from facing reprimand on their professional license when assisting persons experiencing a medical emergency or potentially life-threatening injury with skills beyond basic first aid, knowing that death or disability may occur if care is not administered promptly.
2. Requires any private-sector (non-profit or for-profit) entity that is delegated as a fire department, rescue squad, or other emergency response agency to provide transparency regarding their board of directors, board meetings, and hearings. These entities shall be required to hold public hearings at least semi-annually. Civilians living within the service area of these agencies shall be able to express concerns, ideas, and grievances without retaliation.
3. Expands the state EMS board's role to provide advocacy for improvements and reforms instead of serving solely as regulatory.
4. Enhances penalties for assaults against firefighters and EMS personnel to a minimum of a Class E felony.
5. Provides avenues for EMS professionals to appeal sanctions against their licenses
6. Enables the legal formation of special purpose districts or "authorities" to address lack of emergency service resources. Special purpose districts are autonomous government entities and their own subdivision of the state that serve a singular purpose, much like utility districts and school districts. They are overseen by a board of directors where its seats are elected by the public, appointed, or combination of both.

I propose one should be able to use any sort of training or skill, even if unlicensed and not under medical direction, in the event a medical emergency occurs where first responders are more than 20 minutes away.

There are many areas in my state that are lacking first responders that can arrive promptly in the event of an emergency. Many areas are within what is called "ambulance deserts"

There is no excuse to penalize or even charge someone with trying to help when the resources are not there.

There should be an act in place to decriminalize and give immunity to these selfless heroes.
