[QUOTE="FatGenes999, post: 475385, member: 93031"] Yes, patticat, things are somewhat different here in the States. My GP is OK, but, I have noticed her subtly negative reactions to my use of naturopathic remedies for a lot of my health concern. Some of that was done because I couldn't afford all of the specialist and Rx meds for heath issues, (other than my DB). I can tell she is silently annoyed that I have chosen to go the diet and exercise route rather than use Rx meds for my DB. I do, however, use a glucometer for BG readings. Now that Obamocare is raking ("taking") over the health-care field, we are faced with other problems, which are too tiresome to go into, but, I will say that applying for Obamacare and monitoring your application is a job in itself, with lots of foul-ups and backtracking. Fortunately, I am not so ill that I can't keep up, but, if I was that ill, I would have to get a community volunteer to help me through the bureaucratic mess that Obamacare is. Other than local clinics which give a limited-use kind of voucher, Obamacare will be the only kind of insurance i will have to help me when I need specialists and special tests done. I am awaiting acceptance so that I can get the eye, foot, neurologist, etc, specialist appointments that I will need to see if my DB has caused other problems. [/QUOTE]
