...point.
Ultimately YOU are responsible for your health and healthcare.
So inform yourself and be your own advocate.
There are some very good websites you can trust like Mayo Clinic, WebMD and a few others.
Search them, find out about your conditions and medications, write down your questions before your appointment, have a conversation with your doctors and be your own advocate.
Like our political leaders, we get the healthcare we settle for.

So the appropriate response to someone trying to educate and be proactive with their health care is to tell them they have much to learn and they are responsible for their own health.
Wow that's such an enlightened point. But it's actually so ironic that this is the kind of pigeon holed thoughtless response many Americans (not just me) get when talking to their Doctors.
As if being mindless pissants is requirement of good citizenship. No doubt it wouldn't take many questions or even a minor inquisition for a doctor to tell me to GFYS. Well I take that back - they say that but in their own way. Probably something they learn in college.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
Not "health care". Tom Duncan had "health care". But did he have USA health insurance?
...in every other modern democracy in the world, *everyone* has health insurance.
It's only in the US that millions still don't.
