I too have had the same issue and I am not old enough to be on Medicare if any kind. I have a great private pay insurance.

My understanding is that the only system in Florida that sees Medicaid patients is UF, as mandated by the State of Florida. In addition, they have woefully fewer doctors because they are so overwhelmed by the patient load. Many are leaving the UF system because of this. In addition, patients are flocking to this system because of their maladies as a result of COVID, which has put an even greater strain on the providers. I am now transitioning out to doctors in Ocala by my UF primary care doctor. I wish you well.
