I doubt it. My grandparents and inlaws both live in rural towns, and I think they'd rather have the hospital close down than have to pay more taxes. I know the news likes to show people from rural towns that want the government to provide urban ammenities in areas that can't financially support it, but in my experience, those people are in the minority. Most rural people I've met know the risks of living far from government services, and they think the benefits outweigh the risks.

- Gusmann 7y agoStill even people living 'far from government services' should be able to get emergency help when they need to and the closure of the hospitals might just drop the general level of life in the area
- mymythisisthis 7y agoI've made a comment somewhere else in this thread, but I think it applies to your observation. We should have different laws for rural/urban about almost everything. Make flying cheaper in rural areas; less insurance, less safety standards. Rural people know what they are getting into and know the risk of living in rural areas. They are also more self-sufficient. The rural/urban divide is too great.
