If I recall correctly, test strips and meters are covered here....the meds
aren't...but the new law may give us some coverage.

When I hear younger folks poo-poo the plight of seniors...I simply remond
them that when I'm long gone...and they are approaching my current
age...there will be some young decission makers around their current age
wondering if it's simply better to euthanize the old folks.  The get this
strange look on their faces.
