So we should condemn large swaths of the rural population to not only abject poverty, but remove health care access too?

Is this what you're seriously arguing? That people should be forced to have a worse quality life, die earlier; all because they committed the crime of not living in a metropolis?

Do you not see how people read this as completely heartless and devoid of empathy towards their fellow man?

Yeah I should move out of the subtropical rain forest and move back to urban asthma and traffic and crime, and noise.

The idea that my neighbors and I are gunna go picket the only person within 20 miles that can write a prescription is ludicrous.

Literally already the case and more so care isn't cheaper unlike land so your lesser dollars buys lesser care and no realistic access to specialists

Reminds me of how the CCP pays doctors extra money to work in rural areas. And I read an article on how gynecologists are fleeing the American South. And even in my own country there is lack of GPs in some provinces.
