This is a very important and relevant topic. Inferior medical care is the number one reason we are reluctant to become full timers. It’s a difficult situation to resolve, a large population of senior citizens predominately on Medicare is a health care nightmare. The population requires a significantly higher amount of health care than the general population. Additionally, the low Medicare reimbursement rates make quality health care providers reluctant to work in a market serving that demographic. It’s not a good situation with a simple solution.
