It has gotten worse, much worse, as the financial sector has through stock purchases and loans bought up the community hospitals and clinics. The quality of care has significantly declined. My personal experiences confirms this as too the role of the NIH in putting illness before wellness. On top of that in a tag-team maximize profit insurance companies are promoting maximization of costs. I have had over $10,000 in imaging for a hematoma, and still after 18 months it hasn't been drained. 20 years ago a GP would have drained it in his office for under $500. Now they are saying it might be a carcinoma and so I need to drive 80 miles three times for to have it drained to a specialized hospital, not the local ones in the Palm Springs area. Evaluation visit, procedure, then results. Welcome to a system that costs twice is much as the next nation, and the US is rated 42 behind; moreover, average life-time major infirmity is 16 years. 45% of American adults are either diabetic or prediabetic, nearly half now are hypertensive, and similar amount have hyperlipidemia.
I am drug free at the age of 80 (2023), and I average over 50 minutes a day running, swimming, and weight training. It is because I take testosterone from a compounding pharmacy since I was 61. Pharma's testosterone is too weak for seniors.
