My wife is a pharmacist. Our combined gross income is greater than $220k. I think that is a little higher than the median HHI in SD. Maybe not La Jolla or RSF obviously. What is your point here?
As to healthcare weathering a severe recession? It will hold up better in all probability. However, like Cyphire said, it will be impacted. Businesses are businesses and profitability / going concern still rule at the end of the day.
Ask yourself this question: Did the standard of healthcare slip during the Depression? During the severe recession of the late seventies early eighties? I’ll bet it did.
