Yes I can understand this if you're on a benzo or other short-acting drug that runs the risk of dependence. This is the case here.
I'd have no problem connecting with an MD as frequently as they wanted, but it's the $300 every two months, out of pocket, that I can't afford.
I haven't switched to NY health insurance because my employer is located out of state, and for particular reasons (and the particular health insurance) I've had to hang on to it and use it when I'm there.
