When I was a kid, our doctors were mostly the next town over, which was 15 minutes away by car.
In addition, Florida is a toll-road state. Your health insurance doesn't cover the cost of tolls, and driving the back roads to get to Orlando would probably take a couple of hours each way.
No thanks. There are 150,000 Villagers here in this three-county area. There are ALSO other people living in this 3-county area who rely on local health services. There should be at least "adequate" health services in each of these counties.

don't really care how many are in TV, that doesn't matter with anything else, so why here there's nothing special about those 150,000 people. They do still drive, and the tolls shouldn't matter if your health isn't worth 5 bucks extra out of your pocket then ... whatever. Stay in Mayberry. Your choice, but I really do not agree with your logic.
