Q: My blood has been running high for about 20 years and still the clinic I am going to is trying medicine after medicine. I do not believe in popping pills every time you turn around. I know I need to lose weight and I am doing something about it. I do not have health insurance and I feel like I would be getting better treatment if I did. What can I do?
A: I support healthcare reform. I feel it is very important for people like you to have access to basic health care services and preventive care. One of the best things you can do for yourself is to continue to lose weight and exercise regularly.
