Healthcare and riding

So rumor has it that the only Level 1 trauma center may be closing here in Las Vegas. Our Level 1 trauma center is provided by our county hospital. If that happens, I am guessing people will have to be life flighted to California or Pheonix. Somehow I doubt that would happen but you never know.

Healthcare here is pretty bad here in Vegas and being a nursing student and doing rotations in different hospitals, I know I don't want to ever be sick here requiring hospitalization, let alone having life threatening injuries.

If this was happening in your hometown would you think 2x about riding? If our trauma center closes down, I think I am pretty much moving out of here!
