Can you believe this, apparently no dental care is included in the forced insurance
I was reading up on this and thought, ok, well, at least they have to include dental care in this insurance you have to get right? ( I have some dental work that needs to be done)
Nope, dental is not included, on one website it said you will have to purchase a dental insurance policy separately. This just keeps getting better. <sarcasm> You don't even freakin' get dental included for your premium.
We will overcome this obamacare tax and the country will survive. BUT not every person alive need not survive.
I want to sit on the death panel.

So a golden opportunity to bring American teeth up to the standards of British teeth has been tragically squandered.

3. Dental insurance is shit anyway.

I have it and a crown still cost me $600. It paid 50%.
That is typical.
There's two levels of coverage. Mine pays 90%.

Didn't take em long to move to the next target on their agenda.
-
I pay for my own health insurance and dental is separate so I have to pay for that too.
-
Well DUmmies, don't do meth and your teeth won't be broke up so bad.

Alien concept to DUmmies.

They select the cheapest dental insurance then bitch when it doesn't pay everything. :mental:

Now that's just silly.
Rehab is included in the healthcare. What good is it to include it if they can't use it.
That's an ace in the hole to save their jobs, for those that have them.

What about vision care?
DUmmies will be blind, toothless and dying because no doctor will take their gummint healthcare.
Free at last, Free at last, we'll be free of DUmmies at last....well, soon enough.

Is that covered by the fine TAX paid for not having insurance or is it a separate fine TAX ?

Can you believe this, apparently no dental care is included in the forced (oops) insurance
I was reading up on this and thought, ok, well, at least they have to include free dental care in this insurance you have to get right? ( I have some dental work that needs to be done) No shit, sherlock
Nope, dental is not included, yup on one website it said you will have to purchase a dental insurance policy separately. Heaven forbid This just keeps getting better. <sarcasm> You don't even freakin' get dental included for your premium. Oh, you poor, poor parasite.
Guess what, DUmbass. Free gas, housing, school, transportation, cheetos or weed, are not there either.

Yo Dummies - take care of your teeth and they will last you a lifetime. You all need to get over this concept that someone else should be paying for your needs. It's not going to last much longer.

MOLE!
If you think the British people's NHS teeth quality is bad, wait until you experience their healthcare.

No problem quinnox. If the only way you'll get insurance is if you're forced to, just wait long enough and your teeth will get infected and then you can just show up at the emergency room for treatment. No need to worry about a brain infection since you don't have one.

Liberals don't take care of their teeth anyhow, so there is no need for dental coverage.

In other words, the term "bite me" has a new connotation?

To be fair sometimes genetics can screw you in the teeth department. However I have never demanded that anyone else pay for my dental work.

I had to get dental work done a while back. I had to get a root canal on a stupid tooth. It was so bad... ugh. Anyway, my dental insurance didn't cover it 100% and I never expected it to do so. It covered what it was suppose to cover and then I had to come in out of pocket to pay for the rest. The dentist I saw was nice enough to set up an interest free payment plan for me. The tab with them will be paid off in a few weeks.
Why not just talk to your care provider about payment plans? If they refuse, call up another doctor/dentist. Someone is going to be willing to work with you and your needs/ability to pay.

They're not credit worthy.
How many posts have we read about where they run up debt and declare bankruptcy?

Not only what Tucker just posted, but they expect everything to be done for them, not by them.

True. I was just trying to be nice. :)

A good friend is a dentist and he says that happens all the time. In fact when a DUchebag goes to a bankruptcy low life POS, they tell them to go get all the dentistry they can prior to filing. His office manager looks long and hard at any new high priced dental work before it is performed. I would think the same thing for cosmetic and other elective surgeries would apply but don't know.

And it raises the cost for the rest of us. Dummies just do not understand there is no free lunch.

All that matters is that it is free for them. We don't enter into their consideration.

:rant: I really wish the DUmmies could think things through to a logical conclusion as opposed to being selfish and all about what they want, what they need.
When I see what they write and listen to other liberals talk about health care, they seem to forget that to get all of this care (dental or medical) means taking the labor, education, expertise, and hard work from another person BY FORCE.
I realize health care is expensive but it's really gotten more expensive since the government got itself involved in the business of health care. The paperwork and documentation has forced many doctors to hire more and more office staff just to make sure they get their piddly little reimbursements back from Medicare and Medicaid. My family doctor has a check from Medicare hanging on the wall in his office and it is for the grand sum of $.01. Yes, one penny for reimbursement for the care of a patient.
They seem to expect doctors, technicians, nurses, and other members of the health care team to work for free, or for less than they would normally charge. Do they not realize that as this becomes implemented, why would anyone go through 12 years of hell of medical school or dental school for this kind of crap? Would you?
I will tell you firsthand that since the government has inserted themselves into the health care industry, the costs for administration and paperwork has skyrocketed.
Would DUmmies work for free? Ummmmmmmm, no. Isn't hunger actually a more pressing problem than mammograms and Pap smears? Can people just walk into a grocery store and demand free food? Not yet at least. I'm sure single-payer food is next on the liberal wet dream list.
I've learned one thing about DUmmies. They are the most selfish people on this planet. All they think about is themselves and what SHOULD be provided for them at no cost but at extreme cost to everyone else who pays. But would they EVER think about providing any sort of service to anyone else for FREE? We all know what the answer to that is.
End of :rant:

One more thing..............the grand total for my fractured arm after all is said and done (technically I'm not done because I will have to have an elbow replacement at some point in the future) is over $100,000.00. Yes, that's right. One hundred thousand dollars for a fractured arm. That includes emergency care, surgery, hospital care, supplies, and physical therapy.
We had to pay out of pocket approximately 10% of that but we do have great health insurance, but my husband's company and he pay for that coverage.
Insurance and medical care would be so much more reasonable if we went back to the concept of catastrophic insurance coverage only. This copay/free preventative care is what breaks the bank. My parents used to take us all to the doctor when we got sick, and we weren't rich, but it didn't seem to break their budget.

No crap. I shudder when I hear someone on the fertility site from over there talking about their birth story of their kid. They don't have private rooms. You ought to hear what those new moms have to deal with concerning the other patient and their family. :argh:
