How Delaware fits the NSA picture

[VERIFY] Delaware 18 Del. C. §3571H requires direct payment to certified volunteer fire/EMS ambulance agencies AND exempts them from the general §3348 balance-billing limits. The statute affects ambulance billing but its net effect on consumer protection is ambiguous — needs human review.
