Sounds like they need to stop responding to these calls.
What federal law says that an ambulance service has to respond to a federal request?
Too bad Gov. Jan Brewer wavers.
Yes, the federal government will threaten to withhold federal funds to Arizona. GOOD! Who needs 'em? Look, if little matchbook-size Hong Kong, with no natural resources and surrounded by big communist China can become a world-wide economic powerhouse through the dynamics of a free-market economy and little-to-no taxes, then so can Arizona. In eight years, Reagan turned California into an economy equivalent to the eighth richest country in the world.
Who needs the dysfunctional bankrupt federal government? In a relatively short time, Arizona could become an economic powerhouse from whom the federal government itself would come begging for money.
Unfortunately, I think it will get a whole lot worse, before it gets better.

Biggest rip-off in the world is what cities charge for an ambulance ride. Usually around $1500 just for taking you a few miles to the hospital. Not surprised that the Feds are not paying that extortion, shouldn’t cost more than a few hundred dollars for that ride. This is one time I agree with the Feds.

AZ never went for Obastard, so eff ‘em.
An easy way around this problem, is when they call for the ambulance, insist on the name of the individual to be transported. Unless they live in the area, decline the ambulance service because they are “unavailable due to maintenance”.
If they check on its maintenance status, the city needs a rule that after an ambulance has been maintained, it requires approval prior to being dispatched, and there must be a problem with the individual who give approval’s cellphone. So sorry!
Maybe you can get an ambulance from Tucson.
