The population growth overwhelms the healthcare systems.

Truthfully we have noticed the residents the farther south you go are far younger than northern areas. When one is in 40s 50s early 60s, healthcare issues isn’t top of their list. The older residents moved from the north, so equal numbers.
By the time the southern residents reach 80s and 90s when some may need multiple physicians and visits. The circle of life in the northern areas will have become younger. I see my dentist twice a year, and have a yearly visit with cardiology. Dermatologist said I wasted his time, come back in 3-5 years or if you find something off color.
Never used a primary care so one less waste of an hour.
