Uh, no. I don't know anyone that's been to a doctor in years, and I haven't been to one in over thirty. I don't want some hateful doctor to damn me by lying and saying I have a preexisting condition. My mother had her life ruined by a doctor that did that when she was pregnant with me. She was diabetic for only a short time while pregnant, but the doctor ruined her life by declaring her diabetic so she wasn't able to afford health insurance and she died from easily treatable conditions, but she was unable to find coverage because of what that doctor did to her.
