Health care in the US has gone down the toilet.

When they're not pushing popular drugs on you, mine for example likes to give me meds that make it harder to breathe. I have COPD FFS! Why would I want meds that make that worse? But in the hospital if I'm in resp failure he won't give me any anxiety med cuz "It could kill you." Seriously?
 
On my wellness visits, my doctor always asks how my diet is. I always respond, "Atrocious!", but she doesn't suggest any modifications, probably because she knows I won't follow them.
I'm not clear on why annual wellness visits seem more important to you than regular doctor visits. My experience with Medicare annual wellness exams has been that they accomplish nothing except to ask a few questions primarily aimed at assessing cognitive abilities. I don't even get them anymore since my semi-annual check ups serve the same purpose and much more.
