How (if at all) is emergency response addressed in the article or report?

In response to

How does the article address public health inequities or emergency response?

The article directly address EMS and fire and the financial struggles that the industry is currently facing due to the manipulation of resources that are needed. The inability to afford proper equipment is directly affecting patient care, which is a huge issue in EMS. The article points to wall street as the cause of this issue.
