It must be wonderful to live in a place where that's an option.

Due to my partner's work, I live in a town of about 100,000. There is a doctor shortage - New patient intake can be months. The system hangs on with physicians' assistants. Going to a specialist often means months of waiting or hours of travel.

We are living in a degraded health system between the lack of doctors, burnout of doctors and nurses, and a private equity system buying up everything in sight and sucking out every last dollar it can.

Maybe it's better in large cities.
