"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.
