Real Self is not a political forum so we doctors cannot tell you how you might let your elected officials know that you want to keep your options open that have been created by the Affordable Care Act.I think that people DONT want changes to the laws that are being discussed by the current group that run the government . Your photos suggest that you may be a candidate for Accutane or a generic brand of it. Your dermatologist will see patients who don't have insurance.Patients who have childbearing potential will have to be on two methods of birth control. A pregnancy test is done every month so that accutane won't be given to a woman who may not know that she is pregnant . The most important side effect is that of  fetal malformations if the baby is exposed in the first trimester.For this reasons, only physicians who are registered in the pledge program can prescribe the drug.When you make your appointment, ask the office if the dermatologist is part of this program.Hope this helps you,Dr Beverly Johnson
