Nah, rural politicians will most-likely find it more politically advantageous to claim that the hospitals are closing because of 'illegals', welfare-bound decadent city folks, or some hare-brained conspiracy theory. It will be too difficult to square their political convictions with economic realities. Providing healthcare in rural areas will always be economically difficult. There aren't enough consumers in rural areas to support modern hospital facilities. Admitting this isn't a problem markets will solve, and that government taxes and spending might be the answer, is something that will prove very difficult indeed.
