When someone you love dies because it takes an hour for an ambulance to get to your house, that is the rural life that's actually out there to be had.

Or they don't call an ambulance because they cannot afford the $5000 bill.

That's also a very fair concern that isn't limited to rural areas but tends to hit them extra hard.
