Whether one can quickly obtain high quality medical assistance can be a life or death matter, especially for seniors IMO.

I think you have discovered the real issue. We live in a very rural area that happens to house a concentration of people in their heavy medical utilization years. We have the need but lack the highly skilled medical specialists and teaching hospitals you would find in larger cites. People need to understand before moving here that complex medical problems and emergencies will require travel outside the area.
