The government got between me and my doctor

Edited on Mon Aug-31-09 08:15 AM by lwcon

I got a letter from the government, saying that they contacted my doctor and made him replace a daily prescription of mine with another drug of their choosing.

They were kind enough to allow me to finish my current bottle before experimenting with the cheaper (for them -- same cost to me) product. Wasn't that generous of them?

Oh, wait, that wasn't the government. That was my health insurer. No problem, then!

I sure hope we get a "uniquely American" solution that keeps these swell folks in charge of our nation's health care.
