I mean if retirement means you don’t need to rely on healthcare access, then VT might be for you.

Not steering you away, just availability of access is nothing compared to a lot of other places.

This! When my mom moved to Alzheimer's care and needed a doctor in that area rather than the doctor she'd had for decades, I called eight practices and was turned away from seven. The last one finally said they were taking new patients, but they had a nine-month waitlist and that was before the pandemic. My primary moved on a few months ago and even as a patient for close to 30 years with the same medical practice, I'm just bouncing from one physician's assistant to the next.
