I'm not trying to be nasty, I'm glad you only have a 10 minute ride previously and I'm sorry for your sons illness, but I drive longer than that to have my teeth cleaned. Honesty I'm trying to understand, not be combative. But it's complaining about a distance for an appointment. Maybe because even though I live in NY, its not NCY?

Hey, if I have to travel 3.5 hours for his appt so be it. Not complaining at all. Just want to make sure if there is an emergency we can take care of it and not have a $30,000 hospital bill. Unfortunately it's a nasty disease and problems can arise suddenly. My son is my first priority and always will be.

I think any parent with a child who has special needs can understand.

thank god his treatments are covered under hospitalization. Otherwise it would cost $7800.00 every 8 weeks. That's steep

Gotcha, I'd move heaven and earth for my child.

I guess at the beginning I didn't get you saying you had drive more than 10 minutes, and now I don't get you saying the cost and it relates to TN somehow? Really I guess don't get the costs and treatment you said about chrohns. Sure not great but also not what you described,especially medically.

Also, and really I'm not trying to be nasty to you honestly, but you made it appear that TN was some kind of back world kick town. Even I think that's offensive and I don't live there.

I wouldn't have looked at the agent as wasting my day or time,everything is negotionable, I would have b slapped a "typical difficult self".

Please don't judge all people that live n NY by nasty rude NYC.
Excuse me? Speak for yourself. I know plenty of people out of NYC that like the folks in New York City. My dad was born in the Bronx and is married to a woman from Long Island. I have friends and family inside, outside and upstate. Frankly, "b-slapping" someone sounds pretty darn abrasive as does some of the other statements you've made.

Frankly, I deal with people from all over the country and their are rude people everywhere.

Lest we forget, there are some incredible people from NYC and they showed their true colors on September 11, 2001.

She's just looking for a place where she can find accessible doctors that take her insurance. I'm guessing you have never run into that issue, it has nothing to do with 'backwoods' and everything to do with difficult insurance companies. What is offensive about that?
Heck, I wound up changing insurance just moving from one side of TN to another because my carrier didn't have a strong presence in this region and I didn't care for the limited amount of doctors that accepted my insurance here.

I LOVE TENNESSEE and think the people are fantastic. I never made any comment or implied anything different. What have I said to make it seem like I said anything less than praise?

I am excited that there is a wonderful, beautiful, vibrant spiritual yoga community.

Thank you Hiknapster. My husband happened to be one of the first responders that spent many months on location. How easy it is for many to forget how many sacrificed in that tragic event. We come together in full force

The entire country cried with you, as you ignore I didn't blast you but you blasted me and saying i didnt care and TN saying the health care was substandard. I was pointing out that it wasn't health care, it was the driving time.

I don't who or how or what the other person threw up all anger, frankly I don't care, I thought we were having a conversation.
