Well I started to read the other thread about the AHCA and was planning to reply but sadly it's been closed - so I'll keep my opinions to myself on that.
In the meantime, last week was time for my first semi-annual dental check-up since ER'ing. I don't have dental insurance - all the plans I looked at seemed pretty expensive and really only seemed worthwhile if I need really major treatment and even then it's not great. So I decided to go bareback, as it where.
I checked last year and for a check-up and cleaning the dentist charged insurance $125. The insurance company only paid $78. I called the dentist to see if I could get that same rate. Well what a pleasant surprise!
When I called he answered the phone himself and through the miracle of called id said "Hello [NameRedacted]. Are you calling to set up an appointment?". I explained that I didn't have any insurance and before I could even ask for a reduced rate he said "For you - $50", which I thought was pretty decent of him.
I've been with this guy for 9 years and now I plan on being with him till he retires.
