Medical care

First I think we should stop Doctors and Insurance companies from charging soooo much. They are getting very rich,….while we suffer!!! I thought they did what they did because they care about people. It is all about the money !!!! I thought I found a great place to go. I suffer from chronic pain. I found a clinic in Washington,Mo. that goes by your pay….She looked up my social security number and saw I was not working,.So it was only going to cost me $10.00. I was sooooo happy !!! Well of course it was to good to be true……..I got a call about a week before my appointment. They canceled because they no longer had a Doctor. My guess is he was not making enough money !!! I would like to know why we can not have more options like that. There is a clinic like that close to me I think it is called Peoples Choice Clinic……..but guess what, the service is soooo bad. They treat like crap !!! I think there is also one in Chesterfeild………come on people there do not even need a clinic like that………are you kidding me ???

I would also like to add. I grew up watching my Mom work her tail off to support me……..she had a heart condition. Rather then go to the Doctor, because she did not have insurance……she sufffered and basically died because of it !!!!!
