Why is everyone burying their heads in the sand and demanding faster service when there is a much bigger problem?

I get it that fixing The Village’s health care system is beyond the scope of both Villagers and the county commissioners, but increasing ambulance response time solves nothing as long as the much much much bigger problem exists! Efforts that actually do make a real difference, like the neighborhood defibrillator program, should be the focus of attention.
You don’t think response time is important?? Yeah, OK. Just hope you don’t have a cardiac arrest. Or better yet a stroke where the window of opportunity to use thrombolytic therapy is about an hour
