I can answer that:

At least one in particular. AMR (American Medical Response) and its holding company GMR (Global Medical Response) are about as evil as it gets in the ambulance industry, and they're also HUGE businesses, not to mention that they also run something like 1/3-1/4 of all US private EMS operations. Oh, did I mention that they're based out of Greenwood, CO?

I'd bet a pretty healthy sum that those vampiric fucks are behind it.

1/3-1/4

1/3rd is bigger than 1/4th

Yes. I listed them in descending order, and while I realize that that defies convention, I don't think that should suggest I don't understand fractions.
