"'We face an impending crisis as the growing number of older patients, who are living longer with more complex health needs, increasingly outpaces the number of health care providers with the knowledge and skills to care for them capably,' said John W.

"Complex health needs" as in chronic disorders from unfitness, i.e., overweight/obesity.

"The American Medical Association responded that seniors' access to Medicare in coming years 'is threatened by looming Medicare physician payment cuts.'"

'This July, the government will begin steep cuts in Medicare physician payments, and 60 percent of physicians say this cut will force them to limit the number of new Medicare patients they can treat,' the AMA said in a statement."

Good.

The fewer doctor visits, the better the chances of surviving sick care.
