Alabama standard of living #7
From TRS "Advisor" May 2018-- source Leada Gore of AL.com
Top 10 states for Firearm Violence (deaths per 100,000 people)
#1 Alaska 23.0
#2 ALABAMA 21.4
#3 Louisiana 21.2
#4 Mississippi 19.8
#5 Oklahoma 19.6
#6 Montana 19.0
#7 Missouri 18.8
#8 New Mexico 18.2
#9 Arkansas 17.7
#10 South Carolina 17.7

LEAST - Mass. 3.4

Southern states are 3 of the top 4, and 5 of the top 10.
There are 13 southern states TX to MD Missouri counted as a border state.
In spite of Detroit, Chicago and New York City, their states did not make the Top 10 list.

Also added is the current crop of political ads showing almost every candidate with a gun - although none are AR-15 type weapons - "standing up for the 2nd Amendment" or at least the 2nd half of it. No one mentions that the reasoning for the 2nd Amendment is to be available for service in your state militia. (Keep in mind that when the amendment was adopted in 1791, the guns carried by armies and hunters alike were flintlock muskets or rifles. There were no special guns for military use.)

Jacksonville (AL) hospital joins the list of rural hospitals (now approaching 2 dozen of them) to announce closing. It will become a dorm type facility for JSU.

The BBJ of 08/15/18 says Alabama is among the least healthy states.

RE: Alabama standard of living #7
According to 3/2/20 AL.com, Pickins County Hospital will close March 6, 2020. It is the only hospital in that county. That brings to 14 the number of rural Alabama hospitals to close in the last 8 years. 88% of rural hospitals are operating "in the red" and 75% of ALL hospitals in Alabama are operating "in the red". We are seeing why Alabama has a rural auto accident death rate twice the national average -- if your injury is too severe to be treated adequately by a paramedic in an ambulance, you stand a greater risk of dying because you are too far ( one hour +) from a capable trauma unit physician.

In the "medical desert" areas of Alabama, who is there to perform testing for any diseases that may be spreading in America? Do we not have the Covid 19 virus, or do we just not know we have it since we don't test in most of the state?

Access to health care or any other need should be a consideration of determining where one lives.
