"Survey Finds 1 in 5 U.S. Adults Without Primary Care Physician"

A Yahoo News/YouGov poll found that 20% of U.S. adults do not have a primary care physician (PCP), with younger adults less likely to have one. Doctors emphasize the importance of regular visits to a PCP for preventive care, as they can provide comprehensive medical history and identify potential health risks. While specialists are important for specific needs, a PCP can coordinate care and guide overall health plans, making them a vital resource in navigating the medical system.

"Biden's Doctor Confirms President's Fitness for Duty After Annual Physical Exam"

President Joe Biden's physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, stated that Biden is fit for duty after his annual physical, noting that he is adjusting well to a new sleep apnea device and works out five times per week. Despite some hip discomfort and arthritic changes in his spine, O’Connor described Biden as healthy and fit for the presidency. Biden, who would be 86 by the end of a potential second term, has faced scrutiny over his age, but his doctor's report found no new concerns. Meanwhile, Biden's potential reelection faces skepticism, with only 37% of Democrats supporting his pursuit of a second term, while former President Donald Trump, 77, is the favorite for the Republican nomination.

"Biden's Annual Physical Exam Raises Questions About Fitness for Office"

President Joe Biden undergoes his routine annual physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, with the results expected later in the day. The examination holds significance as it could impact perceptions of his physical and mental capability to serve another term, amid ongoing attacks on his age and fitness from political opponents, particularly Donald Trump. Despite being close in age, polls indicate greater voter concern about Biden's fitness compared to Trump's.
