I'm not sure that the physician office visits are the problem


I have a group policy through Anthem that I kept from a previous employer when I retired and my doctor's office pretty much works as you described. I can see my doctor but it will be a while or I can see a PA quickly. The bill from my primary care Doc isn't that bad. I think we need to address the costs of ER visits, hospital stays and RX drugs. I can't even imagine what the Opiods addiction problem is doing to ER's. Some of these patients are getting brought back to life by first responders with Narcan and transported to the hospital for the 5th or 6th time. I will guess that most aren't insured .
