Yeah, so maybe enough care is delivered in cities that the funding is there.
Realistically though at anything close to equal services rural would be way more expensive. I know that's true for education, since a small rural high school still has a boiler and a roof and a principal just like a big urban one, but probably has 1/4 as many students.
I always have a hard time with rural funding complaints given that farmers effectively pay minimal provincial property tax, while literally every other type of real estate owner does.
