*nods* That's where I am going with it - to me, an annual physical is along the lines of an oil change/ tune up. And I should be able to go to a doctor to get that handled without having to prove insurance. Which, as the system stands? I haven't found to be true - if I call a doc's office, the first question I am going to be asked is if I have insurance.
Sure, the case can be made that's why we have urgent care, but...Honestly, I shouldn't have to rely on urgent care or Minute Clinic for wellness care.
