I am on Medicare and Medicaid but I am still upset by the way the USA Health care System works. So many have no insurance or not enough insurance. I am using a walker right now to get around. My dr. won't approve me to ahve a scooter and Medicare won't accept me getting one unless my dr. approves it. I got a call yesterday from my doctor's office saying they had to reschedule my two appointments coming up and than I get another call from them telling me to confirm one of my appointments. One time, I went to my dr. and they told me I couldn't have my physical but they are the ones that made the appointment for me. Nobody seems to know what they are doing.
