Do you have a primary care doctor?

Sure, there’s a lot of lip service about people wishing they had a good primary care doctor. However, when it comes to paying for the service, there is a different story. I think the real attitude is that a primary care doctor is a nice convenience for quick medical questions, minor medical issues, and referrals to specialists. But in terms of real dollars and cents, primary care services are generally valued less than plumbing and electrical work.
