US healthcare is designed to be reactive and not proactive.
Going to a dentist 1 or 2 times a year or a annual visit is fine. But beyond that where you are shuffled around to different specialists it starts to feel like a giant con.
When I was younger I would run to the doctor as soon as I had a cold that didn't clear up after a few days. The doctors would give me insight that I needed to do a better job of rest, vitamin C and liquids. Also, to do more preventive health life style changes like eating more foods that boost immunity and to lose weight.
Now that I am older the key to good health is to know your own body and to trust yourself.
