6. I have to go to the doc's every 3 months to get my pain meds renewed.

When I had the money for regular visits to my rheumatologist, they were scheduled every 3 months. This is a maintenance schedule. Every person with a chronic disease knows the routine. Most of us aren't capable of that schedule any longer. It's one of those "luxuries" that gets pushed down to a lower priority behind food, gas, and the light bill. How wonderful our president has full access, bought and paid for by we, the taxpayers who can't afford it for ourselves. In light of this, the fracking least they could do is come clean with the diagnoses and "retire" him from the office before he nukes the whole world.
