I have no difference with you on the rationality of considering the availability of adequate medical care. There is a big and rational difference in risk assessment, not only with age-related medical needs, but with medical needs that are not age related. Further, I consider my irrational risk taking of going on one of those motorboat parachute rides years ago despite having seen people walking with casts as a result of those experiences.

But the vast majority of visitors to a place like Zihuatanejo or Troncones are as likely to experience cartel related injury or death as a visitor to New York City is to be gunned down or beaten by the Mafia or a visitor to my area of British Columbia will be mauled by a bear.

The NYC visitor is more likely to be injured or killed by a vehicle. The visitor to my area is more likely to be injured by a deer. A visitor to this area is more likely to stumble on a street or sidewalk.

Yesterday in Troncones a person fell on lava rocks when they walked home at night because they heard they were to avoid roads due to cartel violence.

These are the kinds of things that make fear of cartel violence in this area irrational.
