Many seniors, particularly men, don’t go to their primary physician for regular checks.  It’s likely due to a fear of them finding something wrong.  However, a study that was done in 2019 found that having 10 additional primary care doctors per 100K people increases a community’s average life expectancy by 51.5 days.  This is due to the fact that more doctor visits leads to more vaccinations and screening tests.  Medicare pays for a free annual wellness visit.
