Hi!

Thanks for reading my debate with Dylan on stemcell research. I would ask you, however, to read my first post on the issue, the one before this last. It might make you see things in another light.

My nephew has Asperger's syndrome.  Or so says the latest psych. He has also been called border line autistic.  I know how devastating this can be to a family and I completely understand your frustration.  I wish you luck in finding a new doctor for your daughter.

Good luck with this.
Switching doctors, etc stinks. My hubby's employer has switched our plan about 6 times in four years. I just want to cry...remembering the good plan and now dealing with the I'm going broke plan.

Thanks for your support Achew.
It's all about money. Health care is a big expense for companies and a source of labor problems between companies and employees. However, I think that this is a case of discrimination against one group of patients.

Wow.

What a shtick!  People should be able to choose whomever they want treating them, no matter which "plan" they have.  I fear neither the Democrats or the Republicans will fix that, either.

I don't believe in susidized medicine for adults, but do firmly believe that any child, up to, say, 16, or person over, say, 70, should be able to use any doctor and without cost to that person or that person's family
