However, the program does not cover all EMS professionals and potentially excludes tens of thousands (such as AMR employees) - just because of the company’s corporate business status.   Tell Congress that ALL EMS professionals, and their families, deserve the same support, relief, and respect regardless of who signs their paycheck. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/congress-honor-all-ems-fallen-heroes
