Several years ago I had to change Doctors (Insurance issues, I'll say Tenncare, and leave it at that.)

Oh GOD. They've been trying to kick me for the past 4 years, they finally got rid of me when I turned 21, didn't tell me or anything, I just went in to pick up my filled meds and they said "Um.... Tenncare kicked you..... you didn't know?" Why the hell would I? Satan doesn't let his companies send out information.
I'm finally on CSS now which is amazing, but doesn't cover anything that's non CF related, so if I break my leg or something I'm pretty much screwed, plus there are rumors going around that they might run out of money. God bless America!
As for the topic: I've had people say things to me like "Oh cool! You get to eat all the fatty foods you want! I wish I could do that!!" I just smile because I know they're ignorant, but sometimes I'll be a jerk and laugh along with them and say something like "Hahaha, yeah it rocks, FORCING yourself to eat and having to do 4 hours of medication every day and knowing you'll probably be dead in a couple years! Woo! haha!"
That usually creates a pretty entertainingly awkward silence.
