My wife was at a doctor appointment a few months ago while I waited in the lobby. As I waited, a very large couple in their 40s went storming out of the office. They angrily told the receptionist they would be looking for a new doctor. Neither one of them walked well, especially the wife.

It turns out that my wife was waiting in an adjacent room and could overhear the conversation the doctor had with this couple, which became quite animated. The wife, who was nearly 300 pounds, had pain in the hips and knees. She and her husband were both pushing for a surgical solution. In doing so, they were complaining about the out of pocket costs of their Obamacare insurance. The doctor was trying to steer her away from surgery saying that the weight had to come off. Otherwise, the surgery was pointless in the long run. The couple was highly offended by this, and therefore went storming out of the office in search of another doctor. I'm sure they eventually found one that told them what they wanted to hear.
