Your message didn't arrive to me.  Having said that, as I said to Jim:

"Only 13 of 75 primary care doctors surveyed in Anchorage are willing to 
accept new Medicare patients, according to a study by the Institute of 
Social and Economic Research at the University of Alaska Anchorage.

And only five primary care doctors here who accept new Medicare patients 
are in private practice. The rest work in publicly supported health care 
centers or limited service urgent-care clinics."

For a city of around 300,000 people, what do you want it to be before 
you upgrade to "pretty bad"?
