Do you go to an annual physical each year? A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll has found that a significant number of Americans don’t have a physician to call upon for such appointments. The survey of 1,482 U.S. adults, which was conducted between March 8 and 11, found that while 77% of Americans have a primary care physician (PCP), 20% do not; 4% of those surveyed were unsure whether or not they did.
The data suggests the older you are, the more likely you are to have a primary care physician: 82% of 45- to 64-year-olds who were surveyed have a primary care physician, while 93% of those over 65 have one. But just 54% of respondents aged 18 to 29 reported having a primary care physician, along with 76% of those aged 30 to 44.
