(1,584 posts)23. And that EMT makes less than $40,000 a year and no insurance
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/what-these-new-york-emts-are-seeing-as-they-respond-to-covid-19-cases
Adam Bliden:
The average salary for an EMT in New York state, doing what we're doing through all of this, is about $37,000 a year.
William Brangham:
Wow.
Adam Bliden:
Yes.
Right now, both Pearse and I, everyone who's doing what we're doing, we're juggling, usually, it's two or three jobs just to keep working, so we can pay our bills.
We do this because we love it. Everyone knows there's no money in it. But, right now, I'm doing all of this with no health insurance.
William Brangham:
No health insurance?
Adam Bliden:
