Refuses to refill prescription for medication I've been taking for 25 years without an immediate visit

I am an asthmatic. I've been taking the albuterol inhaler for 25 years. Recently the FDA has outlawed the generic albuterol inhaler because of its CFC content. As a result, the only medication available to me and other asthmatics is the ProAir inahaler. This particular inhaler is less effective and half the size of the old generic albuterol inhalers. I am prescribed 2 inhalers that last me 3 weeks, leaving me a week out of every month to suffer from asthma symptons. Today I called my doctor to let him know that I am out of my medication and that my prescription has expired and asked him to please phone me in a refill. His response to me was to go to the ER. I was dumbfounded. Go to the ER? Seriously? What about tomorrow? Go to the ER again? And the day after that? You get the picture. I'm sick and tired of lazy doctors.
