Are you on Obamacare? Is it a Medicare Advantage plan? HMO?
I want a GP who will handle most things and not be constantly sending me to specialists. I can only afford so much copay in a month. I had to hammer the fact that I don't take food stamps, don't have a free phone and don't live in subsidized housing into my current doctors head or I would be living under a bridge.
I am aware that my medical conditions will kill me some day, maybe soon, and if I have any hidden conditions they really don't matter, no point in worrying about them and bankrupting myself.
I am not going to go on Medicaid, no way in Hell!
I asked a pulmonary specialist who wanted to run a bunch of tests, involving more specialists, what he could do if he found something serious. He had to admit that my current condition would preclude surgery and most other options. Why should I waste my time and what life I have left on things I can't do a damned thing about?
I don't dwell on every little ache or pain, I don't have time for that crap, there is too much I want to do.
