Rural US town outraged as only hospital forced to shut: 'I would have died without it'

5. Well, you're probably right in blaming tRUMP for some of these closings, but like in MO, the closings were caused

mostly by companies coming in, closing down the unprofitable ones, leaving fewer and fewer services available. A lot of the closings were initiated by for profit groups, seeking to consolidate and get rid of loss centers (an ugly word).

This lack of medical facilities and having to drive long distances for various health reasons in MO is one main reason why I chose not to retire in the Ozarks region of MO (where my folks retired to). Long commute trips for dental care, other care were often required on the part of my parents from Bennett Spring MO to either Springfield MO (50-60 miles one way) or the Lake of the Ozarks, again 50-60 miles one way. Most of the roads too, were two lane highways.
