i am uninsured and i have asthma. Recently CFC inhalers have been phased out in the USA. What reasons are there for me to make a doctor appointment to get the more expensive and less effective HFA inhalers when i can purchase the less expensive and more effective CFC inhalers online from overseas without seeing a doctor?
