Hi Tom...

 TL> Nit sure where you get your test strips....but a lot of the places
 TL> like liberty give you a free meter....they are shady though....they
 TL> want to charge for for the sticker.  So, I took them up on a free One

  I get them at the corner drug store.

 TL> There is SO MUCH profit in the test strips no one should have to pay
 TL> for the meter.  I've seen meters at Walmart for under 20 bucks, and at
 TL> CVS and Walgreens.

  You know, now that You mention it, my Doc gave me this original one. I
  am wondering if I ask him, if he might actually have some on hand to
  give out, as like You say, the companies probably figure the money is
  in the strips.

 TL> Re you in the US(I forget) and on Medicare?  If so, there are tons of
 TL> companies that will send you alll the supplies for free...since they
 TL> can bill Medicare.

 No No medicare here just yet.

 TL> Of course who knows what will happen when ObamaHealthPunishment kicks
 TL> in? 

Exactly... I just saw some stuff on CNN that makes it look like a done
deal.. Oh well, it will be like Christmas, every day will be a new
surprise on just how badly we got whacked! when we find out what really
is in that thing. But just remember, they know whats best for us. After
all, they care! Geez talking like that I feel sick already and am glad we
will all have health care ;-) or will have, after they tax us for it for
the next 4 years..

Have a good One!
Mike
