        If people value their health so much maybe they can move closer to docs? Without massive rural subsidies why would docs practice rural?

        There's a reason US offers loan forgiveness to practicing in rural areas. And still underserved. Don't think way around it. Should move away

        Or accept that you won't get top tier care without the density of a city that allows for tier 1 hospital systems

        Actually - maybe they should. It's just one of the consequences to living outside societal safety nets.

        Understandable in a developing country, but the way the #nhs is crumbling in the UK, so called #postcodelottery can mean life or death!!

        Obviously, some have not visited Alaska. Access is limited and they love their isolation. It is not a perfect world. It isn't about mileage.
