Carla, I giggled when I read your post. Actually, because I am on social security disability because I was poisoned by the dentists and thus pretty sick, in addition to having state medical insurance, I also have medicare. I am currently being treated by an M.D. for amalgam illness, but he practices what is called functional medicine, an alternative type of medicine, so because he is an MD, my insurance covers him. With regards to our not voting for Bush in Massachusetts, I just mean that we are a democratic state and known to be one of the most liberal states in the U.S. and therefore, we have lots of good services here for the low income people, and lots of free medical care at good hospitals.
