What is one thing your glad your government does for diabetics?
For me (I live in Australia) I am glad our government heavily subsidizes our strips and pump consumables. I wouldn’t be alive without our NDSS (National Diabetes Services Scheme)
pass a health care bill which actually raises the cost of diabetic supplies (with heavy sarcasm in his voice) instead of make stuff more affordable
Thats sad to hear… Are you in the US? They really need to wake up and realize people are going without because of the high prices… All my diabetes stuff for the month costs no more then $30AU
Brent,
Am envious of the AU government help you have. I’m in the US. My medical costs (insurance co-pays) keep increasing What a cute dog!
Yes… I am extremely grateful for the assistant by our government… I really wish there was a way I could kick your presidents bottom into gear and start offering you all the same… And thank you… His name is Noddy ( I know its a ridiculous name but it suits him 
) I hope the US government does something soon!
Noddy–great name. You & Noddy are invited to the US to kick some bottoms.
I am grateful for NOTHING my goverment does for us diabetics here in America. Oh wait,that’s right, they DO make you special by cancelling or refusing you health insurance because of your D and making sure the uninsured have no help to pay for their meds and supplies. Thanks for singling me out America, you make me feel so damn special! 
You wouldn’t by chance have a address where I can contact Barack Obama and the US Health?
Ok i think I officially hate the US Health system (no offense to anyone)
Here’s the president’s address. http://www.visitingdc.com/white-house/white-house-address.htm
Thanks!
Our government does things for diabetics?
I am going to write him a long long letter… He needs to learn people are going without.
Its sad that the US government don’t care… the US need a system like ours… Do a quick search on NDSS Diabetes and it will tell you all about it… Pretty much every diabetic in Australia is accepted
That would be wonderful. Maybe you could post a copy on TuD.
I sure will 
I wonder if he will take action if i tell him our countries relationship could be broken as if nothing is done i will show it to our PM and she will not like it one bit.
Go for it! Do you know your PM?
Not personally. But she is interested to see whats happening with our close partners.
Warn her she may get a lot of US immigrants:)
We are already having problems with Alyssum seekers but I am sure she will let you US people in
I’m Glad that they give Insulin pumps and supplies to Children and Adults in my Province and to Children in several other Provinces so far, if they want them.
