Not everyone over 65 is on Medicare. Some of us have private insurance and use VHS. I was warned, though, that if my situation changed (no private insurance and on Medicare) I would have to be on a Medicare Advantage plan or find a new doctor.
And as others pointed out, there is a long wait to get your first appointment. On the flip side, though, I was surprised at how efficiently the place is run (kinda like TV, ya know?)
