There are no doctors in rural America

Yeah this is false far more often than it's true. I live in a small town (the kind where ambulance and fire services are all volunteers) with nothing but farming communities and farm/hunting land surrounding me. I have 4 hospitals in a 30 mile radius, and more clinics than I care to count

Yes there are some very poor rural regions of states where access to healthcare is a struggle, but they are the exception rather than the norm
