My parents (both in late 60s) live in the US and I'm alarmed by what they tell me. Their old GP retired and sold his clinic to a "concierge" system/network (I don't know the terminology, been overseas for over 10 years so I'm not familiar with any of this.) You have to pay upfront a few thousand per year to get into the system.

The US system sounds totally broken compared to my experiences within the Singapore and Australian health care systems.
