VPL This is a good example of taking personal responsibility for your health. How do you feel about getting a notice. How do you feel about saying no to a request from an HMO. If you do not go, and something turns up later is that OK with you. If you go and nothing turns up later, how does that feel . Your belief system and your ease with all these situations will all have am impact on your decision.

For me the big thing is to own my responses and not to feel victimized by the system. It is what it is and you are choosing to interact with it, so you might as well be at peace with it and then decide how much you want to interact with it and then be at peace with your choice.

Before we moved, I was getting all kinds of reminders to get tested, vaccinated or screened for all kinds of things but since we have moved I seem to have been lost in the shuffle either because of location or because I didn't respond over the years.

They changed our health card many years ago to a picture ID that needs renewing every 5 years but I still carry around the old red and white one that is duct taped together but is still valid. Have to use it at the optometrist. That's the only claims I have had on it since my last daughter was born 38 yrs ago.

Good luck with your choicemaking. It is very empowering and liberating to own your life, when others around you are blaming things outside themselves for any negativity in their life.
