“Farm livin’ is the life for me, land spreading out so
far
and wide, Keep Manhattan just give me that countryside.”
Theme from Green Acres, Television sitcom from
1965-71.
In the show, the main character Oliver Wendell Douglas (Eddie Arnold),
ditches
his New York legal practice to become a farmer in rural America. Unfortunately, today what Mr.
Douglas would also experience with “farm livin’” is his access to health care, and indeed his
health
might be at risk if he continued to live there.
The landscape in small-town America
might be
bucolic, but the health delivery system is not. “The health care delivery system in rural
America is
largely fragmented, the rural health care workforce is stretched to its limits in most states
and
rural households have higher rates of death, disability, and chronic disease. These challenges
are
significant because approximately 51 million (1 in 6) people live in rural and frontier areas of
the
country”
