I am assuming that the child’s welfare is a consideration in the parents decision on where choose to live.

 The cavemen didn’t have rich people to bail them out when their food sources migrated, they just up and left. Walked right on out of there till they found what they were looking for.

I would guess that the 67 counties aren’t just missing OB/GYN. I would guess that their hospital selection is fairly limited as well, mostly because they can’t build an economical hospital in rural america. They just can’t find the resources to devote to a hospital with all the bell and whistles that isn’t going to be…

Yes, absolutely they made a choice to live there. They are in no way bound to the land. They can pick up and move at any time.

My taxes were absolute clusterf*ck this year. And yet I would still rather do them myself.

I would settle for just not having to pay for anyone elses.

Parents are perfectly capable of making that decision. They can choose to live where the CoL is low or they choose to live where they have doctors readily available, but they can’t choose both.

That’s exactly what they do for 99% of Americans. They don’t pour over every single return. Especially your standard issue 1040-ez filed through turbo tax. They do in fact just cut the check.

You are talking about force-marching doctors out into the fields against their will. Marxists forced-relocations is huge source of human suffering in the 20th century. Far more suffering than having to drive 2 hours to see an OB.

Doctors obviously have plenty of patients in cities. The problem is there just aren’t enough doctors to go around.

It doesn’t take rocket scientist for most people to fill out their taxes. It will cost money for the government to read your papers and tell you how much you owe. Libby can already pay someone do her taxes. Why do I need to pay someone, when I am perfectly capable of doing them myself? We aren’t all idiots who can’t…

Why on God’s green earth would an immigrant doctor want to move to Trump country? They aren’t exactly hospitable folks.

what percentage of your premium do you think ends up as profit for the insurance company?

People live in cities for a variety of reasons, not just money. They enjoy shorter commutes, shit to do on weekends, and restaurants besides Cracker Barrel.

That’s what rural life is. They don’t have things there. If they did, it wouldn’t be rural. Are you prepared to dictate to doctors where they live?

At this point, everyone who wants healthcare can get it.

If people can’t afford the deductible they should purchase lower deductible insurance.

Politics is shallow and vapid. There is about as much depth in Keith Ellison as there is in your average episode of Keeping of with the Kardashians.

He will readily admit he isn’t journalist, and merely an entertainer. I think entertainers code of professional ethics is a lot less stringent than journalists.

Blame is a pointless waste of time. Brain power is better used toward towards crafting solutions.
