Dentist Blues

On the eve of an upcoming dentist appointment, I decided to revist a Nightmare from 2008! Insurance doesn't cover as much as it did in the past, and co-payments are SKY HIGH. My advice for everyone is to put a few extra dollars away every month or get supplemental health (or dental) coverage. It's very expensive to get sick these days....be prepared! *Video also available at http://www.tubewatcher.tv/1795

I'm dealing with dental issues right now, i don't know what i'm going to do. I have no insurance and tight on money. My appointment to get what i need done is in 2 weeks. They gave me a discount but its still expensive, lol.

I have Aetna, and yes, I expected them to cover at least half, but NOOOOO! Just got back from an appointment today, and they're still milking me. Cha-Ching!

I hope it gets better...or you just have to get it pulled...hate to know how much that's gonna cost ya!!! Can the choir say OUCH!!!
