A study published last week in the Journal of Asthma indicates that type of insurance you have may be related to whether or not you or your child receives controller medications for your asthma. Children insured by Medicaid were less likely to receive controller medications than those with private insurance for their asthma.

What do you think? You think your insurance affects a sort of medication your doctor prescribes you? Take or weekly poll and leave a comment or go to the forums and join the discussion.
