Getting quality health care “should” be your right, unfortunately, in our current healthcare systems that can be challenging if not impossible at times.
A good place to start is by reflecting on your own needs. Answer the questions below and think about how important each one is to you. While it would be wonderful to get ALL your needs met, you might have to make some compromises (or spend a lot of time, energy, and money looking).

It also doesn’t mean that there isn’t someone out there who can absolutely support you in just the way you need.
