On Friday’s Houston Matters: We talk with Dr. Cedric Dark, assistant professor of emergency medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, and Dr. James Langabeer, professor in the UTHealth School of Biomedical Informatics, about proposed hikes in ambulance fees and why Houston's fire Chief Samuel Peña wants these higher fees. Then, we consider the potential impact this hike could have on Houstonians.
