Yes, we can go to neighboring states for elective surgery, but I sure hope I don't suffer a head injury and need a neurosurgeon! When time is of the essence, having to wait for a medical helicopter to fly a patient to Pittsburgh or another city in the tri-state region with trauma facilities is a matter of life and death.

I agree. The point is that once people start leaving a state because of their lunatic laws, the state will mend its ways. If we were one, uniform state then we wouldn't have the option of settling in a place with a more favorable government.
