When that runs out, I'm on my own but I've been lucky so far. Our dental, like yours isn't very good. When I had all the work done last December, I had to do one of those 6 months same as cash deals. <br />It pays to stay as healthy as possible. I fear a lot of these people who are hooked on cigarettes and other things that impact health will soon be out in the cold when it comes to healthcare.Rick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-92087297003893809092017-06-17T14:05:03.707-04:002017-06-17T14:05:03.707-04:00I'm surprised that your wife doesn't go to...I'm surprised that your wife doesn't go to the dentist either.

You are smart to insure yourself. BTW, several friends have taken a trip just over the border and had excellent and cheap work done on normally expensive procedures. Their US dentists were amazed how well the work was done. Maybe combine vacation and dental work? I'm thinking on that.

We were also fully covered for dental which I didn't know about and every time I needed something done with my teeth, hubby kicked up a fuss, so I avoided going as much as possible, ended up losing about eight teeth. If I'd known we were covered I would have had all my teeth capped and saved them all.<br />Many years later, when my second husband got drunk and beat me, my daughter took out private health insurance for me, because I can't afford to pay those premiums and she made sure he understood the cover was only for me, not him. I divorced him too after one bad beating, but she keeps the insurance going so that I have cover for dental and optical, also hospital should I ever need it. Now and again I save enough to make an extra premium payment for her.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-958363761783302432017-06-17T06:15:12.130-04:002017-06-17T06:15:12.130-04:00Dental work was all I ever had to pay for so I got...Dental work was all I ever had to pay for so I got rid of the teeth.

It pays for an exam every 1 year, but new glasses every 2 years. Right now my eyes are healthy enough to have an exam every 2 years. So I skip the yearly exam and get coverage every 2 years which pays for the exam and a major portion of new glasses. I remember the good old days when doctors would take minimal payments. My mom for years would be owing the optometrist for keeping us 3 kids in glasses. Yet she paid a little monthly and they never complained. <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-59106189377641642112017-06-16T22:57:46.916-04:002017-06-16T22:57:46.916-04:00Insurance is a racket.

After all, if your teeth are diseased, so is the rest of your body, and you aren't going to get healthy no matter how many drugs they give you until your teeth are healthy. If they want us to pay more and cover needed dental work that keeps you healthy, i would pay it, i think it would be worth it for all sides.messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-9079879316281172612017-06-16T19:33:32.225-04:002017-06-16T19:33:32.225-04:00Wow....I always appreciated my 'through work&#...Wow....I always appreciated my 'through work' benefits and my hubs 'through work' benefits but now I REALLY apprecciate them.
