Medical frustration AGAIN!!!!!

I am starting to wonder what kinda country we live in. I hadn't given my kids their flu shot yet and had to wait till after they all got better before we got it. So today I called the Dr. office. They asked me what kind of insurance I had. I asked why it mattered. They said it did so I and apparantly we have "private insurance" aka we are not on Welfare or the Medical card. So I got really frustrated and told her that makes no sense and that it sounds alot like Obama care and that I don't like it at all and to call me when they have some in. I get off the phone and it makes me even madder.

So I called the clinic in town and they are out but they don't go by that policy and suggest I call the health dept. I call there and the lady there says that they are probably saving them for those that can't afford to get the shot. I told her that I was going to be not Pollitically correct but how is that fair? I said that my husband has a job and pays his taxes and why should my kids be penalized for having insurance.

So I call the my Doc's office and ask for the Office Manager or the Doctor. They give me the Doc's nurse of the day. I asked her about it and she says that they save them for the VFC aka Vaccines For Children. Also another word for welfare. GRRRRRR.... So anyhow I tell her that I don't see how this makes sense. I said I have 2 kids w/asthma since babies and another diagnosed recently how does s/ones kid who can't afford it deserve it more than my high risk kids. I said that I didn't see how this was even legal. I told her that the other doctor offices weren't doing this. She said it was Supply and Demand. I said how about if I "demand that they give me some of their supply"? I am so ticked. She called me back but left a message w/o an answer just call so in my opinion that means you are out of luck. I am so mad. Why should I have to put up w/this or anyone else who chooses to pay their own bills. This is reverse discrimination in my opinion.

Sorry but this is just so frustrating for me. Hope you all have wonderful healthy weekend I am sure hoping that we will.
