that's how it is with dental up here...unless you pay for a private plan or your employer chips in with the premiums deducted from your pay

"when I was a kid" (this would be my dad speaking, lol) he said his dad told the dentist to just fill any cavities WITHOUT any pre-freezing because it would be a cheaper billing ie. out of pocket expense for his dad...my jaws hurt whenever I think of him telling me that, yeow

regarding healthcare, I don't know how my chronically, financially struggling sis's (estranged, deadbeat husbands/dads) would have been able to raise all my neices and nephews if our system was a pay-as-you-play one
