How true as every time you start to feel funny or night right that is the first thing that comes to your mind.

Funny my best friends father who is 75 and healthy except for Colon cancer living in Italy had to fly here to America to have surgery since after a certain age (don't know the actual number) they don't do extended life car. So they basically sent him home to die. He chose to fly here have surgery and then had back home 6 weeks later. Good news is he is doing fine.

This year his specialist does not accept his insurance. We paid out of pocket, but it's over the top. We 'finally' got an in network appointment at CHLA in DECEMBER! This means we'll get one appointment out of insurance before it changes again next year. In a city of about 10 million you'd think Blue Shield would have more than one pediatric specialist? F'n ridiculous!

Ron very sorry to here this as it sucks to have kids that are sick or need constant medical care. My heart goes out to you and your family.
btw - Screw Obamacare as it's f-n worthless and all it did for me was raise our insurance costs to the point of stupidity.
