It's deeper than that though. There is a deep group of rural american's who refuse health care, even when provided by their job at extremely low cost. Doesn't really matter how you change it, the rural american's who don't trust doctors aren't going to do anything different?
- cudgy 5y agoInteresting. Do you have a source for this data point?

- cudgy 5y agoI was referring to this statement: “There is a deep group of rural american's who refuse health care, even when provided by their job at extremely low cost.” Particularly the part about those with insurance not seeking care. The articles cited are concerning vaccine takeup rates, which reasonable people can differ.
- brianwawok 5y agoNot really, it’s the same root cause: a distrust of doctors.
