Garnabby, you raise a good point about how older folks really need to think deeply about relocating to an area without good quality, readily accessible health care.
Sure, living in the boonies might be good for the soul but if have a heart attack or stroke in a "health care desert" you're probably gonna die.
Best to live in or near a medium to large city...like Portland if you're lucky enough to finally reach your golden years.
BTW...Is LV still troubled by a lousy health care system?
