It’s largely a problem with misusing specialty doctors and emergency rooms. There needs to be a decade long focus on more family medicine doctors and improving their workload and pay.

ER and urgent care doctors are trained in acute care and trauma. They aren’t trained or meant to handle chronic disease or preventative care, they are meant to handle after the bad thing happens.

Nah man, they know all that stuff. They’re simply paid to treat the reactive, not focus on proactive care.
