Wow. I thank god you are not running our provincial heath care. I can not imagine the strain on the health care system if we only relied on major centers for urgent medical care.
Besides that, the number of people that would die everyday if it wasn't for these small hospitals would be staggering!
Your statement screams of someone that has only lived in a city and has never been to a small town. That you are some how better and get healthcare because you choose to live in a city, where as the farmer and his family who's wheat and cattle feed you, doesn't deserve the privilege of easy access to medical care so in his time of need when every second counts, he has to wait for a freaking helicopter!
