Dear Delda, Yes, the tone is off-putting, but my patients who have used it have found that their physicians do much of the paperwork, and are quite happy to offer this service. Many of the people I work with have need of assistance paying for medications, either for themselves or their spouses, and have found the free prescriptions a great help. -- Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD Editor-in-Chief, "Spotlight on Food--nutrition news for people 60-plus" http://www.fortnet.org/~fivstar and NUTRITION TOPICS copy-ready handouts http://www.dietetics.com/class/fivstar/ Tel: 970-493-6532 Fax: 970-493-6538
