Simple they make money on scripts, more than your office visit.
Diet plays a big role in many (not all) maladies but U know my position on that.
I will say I take no drugs since changing my diet.
The OP said 63% take 3-4 meds how many take 1 or 2 90%???????

Doctors don't make money on prescriptions. No Doctor I have ever visited see pharmaceutical sales people and make patients wait.
We see our doctors twice a year and don't feel ill. They evaluate our wellness. A lot of illnesses have no apparent symptoms; Cancer, thyroid overactivity or underactivity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure.
Because people take medication doesn't mean they are sick or feel ill,
many medications keep them well.
My doctor discusses diet and exercise regularly. He is also interested in our level of happiness or unhappiness.
The fact that seniors take medications often mean they are taking care of themselves and living healthily.
Overweight and or plaque in arteries is not the only cause of hypertension. Eating too much fat is not the only cause of high cholesterol. Proper diet will not cure hyper or hypothyroidism or prevent cancer.
