I rarely need a doctor. I was getting flight physicals for work on military aircraft for a while. The doctor suggested finding a “regular” doctor before I reach age 55 or I might have a serious problem finding one at all. Pocatello is chronically short of doctors. I should probably find a good doctor soon.
Yes he was probably referring to the glut of people going onto Medicare in the coming years filling up the rosters anyway. Medicare is going to be Massive and very soon. The baby boomers were the people agitating the most for the expansion of Medicare because they are the ones who are just short of it (1 to 5 years away from eligibility) and who are paying a fortune for health care now. They will be so happy when they only have to pay $200 a month for Part B/C insurance.
