I think a lot of retirees don't want to move to ex-urban areas that might be cheaper because of the problem with being located too far from medical care. I'm a good 30 minutes from a big hospital with emergency or critical care. It doesn't bother me now because I'm still in very good health, but as people get older this becomes more of a concern. Thirty minutes added to emergency response time can make the difference between life and death. Of course you could live in Manhattan and just die in an ambulance stuck in traffic. At least, up here in the boonies they send the bird for you if you are really smashed up. I hear the Shock Trauma helicopter at least once a month where I live.
