Had a bad reflux attack on a Thursday, called my plan to try to see my Dr, he's booked solid. So I wind up going to ER for the reflux. They give me an RX that settles my stomach for a little bit, it flares up again, try to call my Dr again, still cannot see him, wind up in urgent care. This time another Dr gives me an Rx for Protonix.

I have sent in my story but needed to add one more thing. I wrote our President and Senators about taxing the gaming industry for even one nickel of every dollar Americans spend could go into programs to benefit us when we needed it. They could create a Federal Lottery so people could choose how to spend the recreation dollar.

Our daughter was born with congenital heart defects and had the best of care when we lived in the Bay Area, however, we could only afford an HMO and learned we would have to fight to gain access to the top specialists for our daughter's care.
