No need to be nasty or rude to responders. It appears YOU were mistaken based on all the responses.

Well worth it IF they bring you to a REAL HOSPITAL in Gainesville.

In my particular case, my Social Security and Pension combined provide me with less than Half of what I was paid while working. I just realized I'm wasting my time explaining what should be common sense to someone addicted to criticizing people, and in this case criticizing people living on money that They Earned- who, like everyone else, including the criticizer, want the most value for their money.

When ambulance was outsourced to AMR, response time could be 30 minutes, now that response is from the fire department, response time has improved drastically, which means you get to a doctor faster. |

the members of that committee just vote the way the developer wants them too. Thus, a huge increase in fire assessments with no decrease in the taxes. Works out well for the developer...not so good for us. The members of that committee are elected. They can be turned out.

Say you’re have a cardiac incident, you would rather drive for 60 minutes to Gainesville than get to a doctor as quickly as possible?

1. Did your letter come from the SCFEMS? They are also working on a new fee structure and may have sent out letters.
2. Do you live close enough to be one of the few non-Village properties covered by the VPSDDD? Here is a map showing the coverage area. If neither of those is the case, contact whoever sent the letter (VPSDDD or the Sumter County Tax Collector) and ask them to explain it.

Yes, I’d rather die than go back to the ER at the Villages hospital. I would trust the trained paramedics to care for me during the ambulance ride way more than the Villages Hospital.

It’s in the county’s purview. The Developer builds the firehouses, but I bet they get reimbursed for it. |
