But you are so right - we have GOT to get health care straightened out. <br /><br />As far as the scare, I can't tell you how many times a radiology tech or nurse or even non-specialist doctor has told me something that COMPLETELY freaks me out and I worry and worry only to have another doctor tell me it was nothing. So glad yours was 'nothing' too. :)tierdhttp://tierd.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33281653.post-11100568556112739142009-09-08T10:24:53.877-05:002009-09-08T10:24:53.877-05:00Oh god, I'm only catching up on this now!

It kills me that the nay-sayers don't realize that they are one layoff away from being one of the uninsured. Or that responsible, hardworking people can find themselves without insurance through no fault of their own. It's staggering. Maybe you should go yell your story at a townhall meeting. Those guys are the only ones getting any press right now.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05156777853779141522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33281653.post-68805683467558251312009-09-05T07:12:31.728-05:002009-09-05T07:12:31.728-05:00*sigh* I could have written this same post.

FYI, many states have programs which cover things like mammograms, paps, and colon screenings. In my state it's called "Screen for Life." If anyone is in a situation where they would end up going w/out, I encourage them to google it or to call their state's dept of health/human srvcs to inquire.Niksmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715465327343655483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33281653.post-69666387006091492322009-09-05T06:15:06.470-05:002009-09-05T06:15:06.470-05:00I never miss a pap...thanks for reminding me it...I never miss a pap...thanks for reminding me it's for more than a prescription refill. <br /><br />So glad it turned out to be nothing.Pgoodnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446275487595330171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33281653.post-62390392907861575192009-09-04T23:38:36.159-05:002009-09-04T23:38:36.159-05:00That's quite a scare.

I've been there, although not with kids.<br /><br />One of the things I really like about Planned Parenthood, regardless of one's political bent or view on abortion, is their dedication to women's health issues. Those yearly exams and pap smears? without insurance, your best bet is planned parenthood. and it saves lives.hilaryhttp://gracerfultransitions.blogspot.conoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33281653.post-77877655385480113132009-09-04T22:46:01.872-05:002009-09-04T22:46:01.872-05:00I know the Canadian medical system isn't perfe...I know the Canadian medical system isn't perfect, but I can't even imagine trying to balance my medical needs against my financial needs. I get my pap done every year and it doesn't cost me a cent (directly anyway... I pay for it in my taxes, but it's spread out over time, so it's not money out of my pocket in the same way). I'm glad everything's ok.
