I'm not seeing those when I click on the link. I think some of those include the meter. I don't think you need a new meter each time you buy new strips.

You don't. Companies that make the meters make the test strips. Get the meter for free but have to use proprietary strips which then they price high. You can get generic strips cheap but then have to buy the meter which is expensive.

Its all in how you approach it.

I know, I am a diabetic.

Maybe they could also propose a law to prevent doctors from quitting their practices, as some have said they are going to do.

Simple solution, if you're not willing to pay for his services, don't go to him. No problem at all. Flip side, the Dr isn't your slave. He's not required to service you at your whim, on your terms. Want professional services at a rate you're willing to pay? Become a MD yourself. Top of your high school class. Years of pre-med, med school, internship and residency. Finally you're ready after dedicating 10+ years of your life to the preperation. You're welcome to do so and charge minimum wage rates.

Given the attitudes of so many liberals, it's pretty obvious why it was Republicans that ended slavery in the first place.

Directive 10-289.

"Point One. All workers, wage earners and employees of any kind whatsoever shall henceforth be attached to their jobs and shall not leave nor be dismissed nor change employment, under penalty of a term in jail. The penalty shall be determined by the Unification Board , such Board to be appointed by the Bureau of Economic Planning and National Resources. All persons reaching the age of twenty-one shall report to the Unification Board, which shall assign them to where, in its opinion, their services will best serve the interests of the nation.

"Point Two. All industrial, commercial, manufacturing and business establishments of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth remain in operation, and the owners of such establishments shall not quit nor leave nor retire, nor close, sell or transfer their business, under penalty of the nationalization of their establishment and of any and all of their property.
....

We're getting far closer than anyone wants to admit.
