The healthcare industry is in such ruins exactly because people don't see the doctor enough; or don't take the necessary steps to ensure the well-being of their health. People just wait willy-nilly until an emergency or some other debilitating problem arises in which not only have you fucked yourself over, but you've fucked over the hospital, the doctors, and many a taxpayer. One of these days, people are going to realize preventive care is the way to go. Obviously, there are exceptions. And I'm not suggesting that people arrive en masse at their local clinic or hospital over simple things like hangnails or anal fissures(Saint...), but instead develop and maintain a routine with your doctor in which you are required to see your doctor set amount of times a year and complete any tests ordered. In some states, there are even incentives in following through with your care.
