It might not be ironic at all; the large percentage of seniors in the population might be part of the reason for the healthcare options.
A lot of seniors means a lot of payments by medicare. If medicare truly does pay less than private insurance then that means less income for doctors who stay in this area. There are likely other factors in play (such as having three large cities close by) but it seems like this might play a part.
