I like to think of my dentist as a personal friend. He was my brother's college roommate and I have been taking my boys to him for 15 or so years. He's done a great job, including root canals and crowns for me. In the last few years, I haven't had dental insurance and he's given me a break on his fees a couple of times (but I paid him in cash, so it's Uncle Sam that was shorted).
Yesterday at football practice, my son had two of his teeth knocked out. The only emergency number for my dentist was his home machine and no one answered. I called another dentist (who my dentist had taking his patients last spring when he was on vacation and the same son chipped his two front teeth nearly off playing basketball.)
The second dentist had is cell number as an emergency number and he dropped his kids off at a neighbors to come back to his office to re-insert my son's teeth. Should I switch to dentist #2? I feel like I owe him my regular business.
An ethical question - I couldn't reach my dentist; should I switch?
I wouldn`t . Remember that your dentist has a right to some sort of private life as much as anyone . He did the best he could for you in case of emergency while on holidays . The stand-in dentist was doing just that ....... standing in for YOUR dentist .
You don`t owe dentist #2 your business , and I honestly don`t see why you think you do . Why break up a friendship over something like this ??
There`s another problem you haven`t considered . Dentist #2 is going to go on holidays once a year , and probably have your dentist stand in for HIM !
Then what do you do ?? Go to a THIRD dentist ?
Reply:Your son's teeth were knocked out completely?
Instead of frantically calling your dentist, and then the other one, why didn't you just take your son to the ER?
There are dentists on call at every hospital...
It's up to you if you want to switch to Dentist #2, but just like the first answerer said, Dentist #1 may be on call for him during his vacation...

I broke a piece off a back tooth...?
it doesn't hurt and isn't bothering me. i had a crown put on a tooth close to the front of my mouth about 6 months ago so i can't afford another one. since it's almost all the way in the back i'm probably going to have it pulled. i've had just about every dental procedure there is and having a tooth pulled hurts more than anything else i've ever had done. but it's the cheapest option, based on past experience.
i guess my question is this: since i have a dental cleaning in a couple of weeks, can i just wait for the dentist to take a look at it then? and will rinsing with listerine once or twice a day help prevent any infection that might happen by waiting? Even if i called to make an appointment tomorrow i probably wouldn't be able to get in in the next 2 weeks anyway, short of it being an emergency, which it's not. Thanks for any help you can give me! : )
cheers,
Shauna!
I broke a piece off a back tooth...?
Hmmm, now is it a wisdom tooth? Because then, most likely it would have had to be pulled anyways. It may not hurt now, but it might start to bother you soon! I would call the dentist, and just tell them it is an emergency (I think any broken tooth is an emergency) and see if they can take you asap. I know its expensive (I have had alot of work done to) but in the long run, it's your health, and you'll be happy you did it. If the dentist cannot take you right away tomorrow, I would ask him advice on how to care for the tooth so it won't get infected, until you can get it fixed.
I wish you the best of luck!
Reply:A broken tooth is an emergency so call tomorrow and request and emergency appointment just to get it looked at .
Reply:If it doesn't hurt I would wait until your appointment. Keep your teeth clean and take care of it until you can get it looked at. It might be cheaper to pull it than to repair the chipped area. I had a molar pulled and it didn't hurt. But it sucks having your head yanked on. It was a bugger to pull out. Darn pressure.
Reply:Since Listerine is a germ killing thing, I'm sure it will help prevent any infections, Sorry to hear about your tooth though =\ Yeah since your next appointment is so close I'd say just wait for that one. Good luck =D
Reply:I just came back from the dentist today I broke a tooth 6 months ago and it is a tooth that I am having removed. The dentist has told me that we would leave it untill my other dental work is done then we would look at taking it out as long as it is not bothering me. I have also had teeth crack before and had to wait to get them fixed. I have a enamal problem so my teeth are very brittle. It isn't alway best to leave them but you sometimes have to in certain situations. Appointments are hard to get with a good dentist.

Did I chip my filling?
I had a few of my molars filled about a year and a half ago. I was eating popcorn and thought there was a kernel stuck on one of my back molars. I put my nail back there to get it out and when I looked there was a very tiny chip of clear material on my finger. I then rubbed my tongue against the inside of my molar and it feels scratchy and sharp. Whereas, the molar on the other side, which I also had filled, feels smooth and not sharp at all. It is just on the side though, towards the top of my gums. I can't tell with a mirror if the actual filling chipped or not because it is the same color as my tooth.
What should I do?? I have dental insurance and I know they cover 100% for cleanings but not sure on emergency visits.
Did I chip my filling?
I wouldn't worry too much about this being an emergency case.
Tooth coloured fillings are done in layers, and it sounds as if only part of the filling has been chipped. This is easily fixed. To prevent caries formation just make sure you keep the area clean with toothbrushing until you next see your dentist.
Reply:Sounds like you chipped part of your tooth or filing. Just schedule a visit with your dentist and he or she should be able to repair it. Not a big deal. I am sure that it is sharp and your tongue doesn't leave it alone so you could go to your local store and in the dental section they might have a temporary filling/putty material you could try to help with the sharpness. No real concerns. You can discuss with the insurance person at your office what they will cover--he or she should be able to help you.

Is medical Insurance Worth it? (See Below)?
I am a recent grad and on my first professional job. I'm 23 years old. I took out medical and dental insurance. I don't have any health problems. Neither does my wife. We took a physical and was told to be OK. I did some dental work but my teeth are overall OK. I pay 162 a month for dental and medical when i can possibly put that money to other uses. I was thinking you know those clinics or if we must visit the emergency room it probabaly would come out cheaper.
Is medical Insurance Worth it? (See Below)?
Basically you're saying you want to forgo medical insurance and use so-called "free" care. That's bad - bad for you, and bad for everyone else.
It's bad for you because you will not get preventive care or any kind of care that is not emergency or minimal triage. Sure, the free clinic will treat your pneumonia, but it won't help you with high blood pressure, for example. There's a difference between "treatment" and "health care."
It's bad for everyone else because you are a professional who CAN afford to pay his own way, but chooses instead to freeload on the backs of others. Not cool at all.
Reply:i dontknow but i agree with u SPEND IT ALL!!!!!!!
Reply:It is very expensive but better to have. A ride in the ambulance could be quite expensive if ever you need it 600 dollars and up. Keep the insurance. Better safe then sorry.
Reply:If something were to happen and you are not covered, you will be paying a lot more than $162 per month. What is your wife gets pregnant? You need routine check ups at least once a year. Your normal status can change at any time. You can write your medical bills off on your taxes.

What classes transfer???
I attended a community college for two years, received an AA degree and went on my way to a four year school. I was taking (at the four year school) Organic Chemistry w/lab, Physics w/lab, Biology I w/lab and some professional protocol classs. We got about done with the semester and we had a death in the family and I had already taken my Biology I lecture and lab finals but never took the rest of my finals due to the emergency. I am sure the school put "F's" down on my transcript and I am trying to get into dental school. I transferred to another school and I need that Biology I class very badly, but I DON'T need the other grades, LOL! If they send a transcript to my new school, will it have all of those courses on there and will they show up on my permanent record causing an impossible chance of getting into dental school? Please no silly answers, I need someone with experience if at all possible! Thanks in advance for any help!!!
What classes transfer???
I am pretty sure they can find all the schools you've attended even if you didn't provide it. Yes all the grades will be there but some credits are not always accepted.
Maybe you'll get lucky and they won't accept that credit but when applying to Dental School you must submit all college transcripts. If you don't provide all of them that could negatively affect your Dental School application.
You should have withdrew from that semester. It would have saved you the trouble. What you will need to worry about is, when you get your interview from a Dental School, them asking questions about what happened.

In two days i will be going to the dentsit and i need to know what to expect?
In two days i will be going to the dentist and i need to know what to expect.
I'm only going for a regular dental check up and cleaning but, i have two teeth each with one hole in them.
When i go to the dentist will they do an emergency extraction , or a root canal , or give me a cap?
Even if they don't do this during the same day that i come in for a regular dental check up, will they do this eventually.
Plus i may need braces. How do you think this will work out?
And
If you have EHP insurance are you covered for caps and dental cosmetic surgery?
In two days i will be going to the dentsit and i need to know what to expect?
The first day they will probably just evaluate you and take x-rays and see what all will need to be done. As far as holes in your teeth it will depend on how bad they are. They may be able to just fill them. It also depends on where they are located in your mouth as to whether they do the root canal or the extraction of them. The brace thing is mostly up to you since it is a cosmetic thing. As far as the insurance it probably will not pay all of it. Most of the time the cleaning and x-rays are a 100% covered as well as the exam. But the comestic side of it will probably be 50%. All insurances are different.
Best advice I can give you is try and keep your teeth as long an possible because dentures is no joke.
Reply:Hey, it depends what your insurance will pay and what you have money to pay toward dental work. The dentist can run up a nice big bill for you if you can afford it. Make sure you check with your insurance before you schedule any procedure. You don't want to end up being handed a bill for $3,000 or something.

My kitty just came back from the vet but I'm concerned?
She had to get dental work done so they had to use anesthesia. She seems really out of it now, and her face looks kinda funny. She can hardly walk straight and keeps trying to jump up on her cat tree but she can't, she keeps missing. She won't let my boyfriend or I anywhere remotely close to her. Was just wondering if this was a normal thing - the vet is closed and yes there's an emergency vet, but it hardly seems worth a $200 visit to the emergency vet if everything's okay. I've never had a kitty under anesthesia before or coming out of it or whatever, so I just really don't know. I feel very bad, like I'm a bad mommy :( (The reason for the visit is she had some gingivitis I guess, the doc told me so). Please no "GO TO THE VET NOW!!!" answers, I'm fairly sure my kitty isn't going to die. Now if I really DO need to take her to the vet then let me know that, but bear in mind the emergency vet is $200 visit to begin with, not counting other treatment - so only if it's necessary.
My kitty just came back from the vet but I'm concerned?
Every animal comes out of anesthesia differently. I am wondering what time her dental was performed as she could still have some anesthetic in her body (not worn off yet) -- this can cause the difficulty walking and jumping. It's also not unusual for cats under anesthesia to react differently to family members- even growling, hissing, and spitting-- until fully recovered. You are not a bad mommy- dental health is as important as any other health issues as gingivitis can lead to tooth root problems and plaque and tartar can cause bacteria to build up, travel the bloodstream, and affect liver and kidneys. If your kitty had a tube down her throat to help her breathe during the proceedure, you can also expect a mild cough for a few days. I feel your kitty will be fine and dosn't warrant an emergency visit, but I would call your regular vet first thing if she is acting the same tomorrow. She may also have a decreased appetite for a day or so.
Good luck.
** routine dental cleanings usually go home same day**
Reply:It sounds like she's just out of it. If she's still acting a mess in the morning, take her to the regular vet and ask if it's normal.
Reply:She's still stoned, and she sees REALLY big people coming at her. She probably sees more than one of you, double vision.
Let her sleep it off.
I am actually surprised they let her go home so soon, they are usually more alert, before they let her go home.
Reply:Cats (and any critter, really) that have been under anesthesia tend to be woozy for several hours even after they're theoretically 'awake.' Exactly how long varies, but by midnight she should be close to normal. If she's still hazy in the morning, have your vet check her out. Until then, please try to keep her out of trouble.
Reply:It can take 24 hours for a cat to come out from anesthetic completely. Put her in a quiet dark room with very little stuff to jump up on (she could fall and get hurt). Let her sleep it off.
The vet should not have released the cat if she couldn't walk well, but they may have been shutting down for the evening and figured you'd watch over her rather than keeping her overnight.
Keep her quiet. A bathroom is ok. Put the litter box in there and a folded towel and let her be alone for a while. Check her again around 10pm, there should be improvement. If she's still acting strange tomorrow morning then you do need to call the vet. Anesthetic reactions should NOT last that long.
Reply:It sounds like she is like that because of the anesthesia.It can make them a litte umm loopy i guess if you get what I mean
Reply:Sounds pretty normal to me, and you just need to confine her to a place that's safe until she comes out of it. It would have been easier if you had left her in such a place when you came home, but now you might have better luck by throwing a towel over her and moving her to a safe place.
First, identify a safe place where she can't climb anywhere she could fall off of, can't fall down stairs or into anything dangerous. Provide a litter box and a little water, a nice soft place to sleep, and let her rest.
Then, get her there as quietly as you can. You might be able to herd her in there and close the door, or you might have to wrap her in a towel and move her. Just try not to panic her. Talk to her quietly.
If she seems to have trouble breathing due to swelling or whatever, then it becomes an emergency. For now, it's gotta be easier to get her to a quiet place to rest than to get her to the emergency vet, and that's what I think she needs.
Bet you will all be fine in the morning.
Reply:she is scared of the vet so she needs toregain your trust
Reply:I think I would get a new vet. S/He should have given you some idea of what to expect.
Anyway, if they gave her an injection, it can take up to a day for the full effects to wear off. If they used gas, it can take a few hours. The anesthesia is probably still affecting her. You might make up a warm, soft spot for her so she'll be more comfortable, and keep an eye on her.
Reply:She's probably just loopy from the anesthesia. Offer her only small amounts of food tonight, as she may feel nauseous. You don't want to give her the normal amount of food and have her vomit later. Tomorrow she should be fine. If she's still not right in the morning, call the vet's office and let them know.
Reply:When I got my kitty home from the vet after anesthesia, she couldn't even stand up. Her eyes were half closed, and if I tried to stand he up, she would fall straight over onto her side. She looked like a crippled 100 year old cat! But it slowly wore off. I would leave her alone, maybe even in a room to herself with her favorite blanket, toys, food, and definitely water. See if they can page your vet to see if it's normal, otherwise call first thing in the morning. But every one of my cats that have has some kind of procedure, have looked decrepit like this, right after. You are a GOOD mommy otherwise you wouldn't be worrying! Here is a website that a pet health care professional can answer your question immediately. Check it out so you can ease your mind. :)
Reply:It can take up to 24 hours for a cat to recover completely from anesthesia, so she is probably still feeling odd. I think you should place her in a quiet room where not too many people enter, and is seperated from more lively rooms. If she has a comfy cat basket place it in the room, along with a litter box, a warm blanket in the basket and no objects that she could run into/fall off, so she wont get hurt. Let her rest and later on she will be feeling better and back to her usual self!

Im in pain i know one tooth has to come out,and ive got a tooth that is really sensitive to cold only,because a bit of tooth came away
Im on the nhs dental list,and ive been told i will be contacted asap,ive been on the list for a year,ive phoned them up loads of times,and i get the same answer
I cant go to a private dentist as i dont have that kind of money
If i go to the emergency dentist that means ill be in real pain as they are polish people and they dont care how they treat you,Ive got a sensitive gag reflix,but do they care NO
Even when they numbed my mouth he just jabbed the needle in
If i go to the emergency dentist this will mean the teeth will come out,and ill be stuck with hardly any teeth
There is no teaching hospitals arund here
When i went to the emergency dentist he said at least 6teeth have to come out
Please someone tell me there is hope?
What can i do:No dentist and in pain?
Just been to my own NHS Dentist they changed him for a newly qualified one well my tooth hurts more now than before filling was done and he said i can do this without an inj i said no you wont cost cutting yet again i am looking into Den-plan you pay all year then get treated by a proper dentist i haven't checked it out yet maybe you could look into it A and E wont help.
Reply:Try A%26amp;E..not sure if they will help
Reply:call the NHS direct and they will give you an emergency dentist to call
Reply:Hopefully there are other emergency dentists in your area.
Go to a search engine such as google.co.uk and type in (name of area, where you live) PCT dentists. Search pages from the UK. Keep a log of your experiences and contact your local MP. The Government need to know the misery caused to thousands of people.
Reply:You obviously are in urgent need of dental care. Do get it or you could lose all your teeth. NHS Direct is well worth a try. They should be able to steer you in the right direction. Good Luck
Reply:Ok, I understand you don't have good coverage at this time. Call around and ask who takes CareCredit. It's a credit card for medical bills that you can apply for on line carecredit.com. A lot of offices offer 3 or 6 months same as cash through this credit card with the option to do 24 months extended credit. The interest after that is very low provided you pay the minimal on time.
I'm sorry to hear that you have such a bad experience with dentist. Unfortunately some dentist are that way. A lot of dentist don't have sympathy for patients trying to rush and squeeze into their schedules due to the fact that the patient is only responding to symptomatic conditions. Dentists are firm believers in preventative care. A cleaning every 6 months is rather cheap as apposed to restorative work. From here on get those check ups every 6 months. They are affordable.

Im on the nhs dental list,and ive been told i will be contacted asap,ive been on the list for a year,ive phoned them up loads of times,and i get the same answer
I cant go to a private dentist as i dont have that kind of money
If i go to the emergency dentist that means ill be in real pain as they are polish people and they dont care how they treat you,Ive got a sensitive gag reflix,but do they care NO
Even when they numbed my mouth he just jabbed the needle in
If i go to the emergency dentist this will mean the teeth will come out,and ill be stuck with hardly any teeth
There is no teaching hospitals arund here
When i went to the emergency dentist he said at least 6teeth have to come out
Please someone tell me there is hope?

Just been to my own NHS Dentist they changed him for a newly qualified one well my tooth hurts more now than before filling was done and he said i can do this without an inj i said no you wont cost cutting yet again i am looking into Den-plan you pay all year then get treated by a proper dentist i haven't checked it out yet maybe you could look into it A and E wont help.
Reply:Try A%26amp;E..not sure if they will help
Reply:call the NHS direct and they will give you an emergency dentist to call
Reply:Hopefully there are other emergency dentists in your area.
Go to a search engine such as google.co.uk and type in (name of area, where you live) PCT dentists. Search pages from the UK. Keep a log of your experiences and contact your local MP. The Government need to know the misery caused to thousands of people.
Reply:You obviously are in urgent need of dental care. Do get it or you could lose all your teeth. NHS Direct is well worth a try. They should be able to steer you in the right direction. Good Luck
Reply:Ok, I understand you don't have good coverage at this time. Call around and ask who takes CareCredit. It's a credit card for medical bills that you can apply for on line carecredit.com. A lot of offices offer 3 or 6 months same as cash through this credit card with the option to do 24 months extended credit. The interest after that is very low provided you pay the minimal on time.

How do I get my bf to go to the dentist?
He is disgusting. He didn't have dental insurance for a few years so he pretty much stopped going to the dentist. Then he wound up with a huge dental debt after he decided to go again. So now he just won't go. He had one emergency where they had to pull out an infected tooth that they couldn't save. I made all the phone calls and did all the leg work to get him into see a dentist on a Saturday.
He was not the least bit phased by losing a tooth. I was like doesn't it bother your that you are losing part of yourself??? He doesn't even care.
How do I get my bf to go to the dentist?
I know somebody like that. It doesn't seem to be a priority for them either. I think you just have to tell him that your concerned about his health. Because it could lead to more problems %26amp; $$$$ isn't the issue anymore ;) Good Luck :)
Reply:You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink
Reply:eww disgusting, maybe hes scared of the dentist? or is it just laziness? I dont think its whether he doesnt care more then likely the amount it costs. Give him the facts of lack of dentistry the smell that eminates when you talk to others the look of your teeth when you talk, and for you when you kiss him and are intimate and the smell he exudes, which is worse after sleeping.
Reply:Just say "Good bye"! For Goodness sakes, do not kiss him good bye. Why would you even consider staying with someone you call disgusting.
I would say anyone that cares that little for their personal hygiene is either an alcoholic on a drug addict. RUN RUN !!
Reply:tell him ur taking him somewhere special and end up at the dentist. confort him as he gets his teeth worked on. make him feel like he has a reason to be there. if in case he gave up on himself

What's the best medical insurance for a 20 yr old?
I'm almost 20 yr and I don't have medical insurance. I want to get one because in case I have an accident I don't want to be in debt for the rest of my life. I go to college, so I don't make a lot of money. It doesn't really matter if it doesn't cover dental. I just want it to cover emergencies. Which insurance do you recomend me? I live in the United States.
What's the best medical insurance for a 20 yr old?
Most colleges make available some sort of health insurance for your situation. It will cover illnesses and accidents and tends to be reasonable in price. Check with the Student Services people to see if you can buy it.
Also, call the state insurance commissioner and see if your state allows the sale of low income insurance that is stripped of mandates (drug and alcohol rehab, mental health counseling, etc) and who sell it

I applied for medicaid and it covered everything from ambulance trip to breakfast, lunch, and dinner at hospital...Now I am a happy camper!!!..working out 5 days a week and staying strong!!..i still have medicaid....finally my tax money working for me.

To all those opposed to health care reform and affordable health care..what should we do?
what should we do with working families that do not make enough to afford good preventative health care and dental care? which as we know is even more important than emergency care...for it is good preventative care that reduces major health problems.
So the question is ....ok..you are opposed to health care reform, but what would we do with senior citizens who cant afford to pay for all the medicines that they are taking, or a family of six, whose employers do not offer health insurance and the family has to go buy health insurance at $500 per month on a salary of $40,000 per year? or any other endless examples that say clearly that health care and health insurance costs are out of control...I am speaking not of bums who are not working, but working americans who are in a crisis. Plus the bums as you call them..what should happen to them? no health care at all? just let them die off in some street corner?
To all those opposed to health care reform and affordable health care..what should we do?
drinking water is a human right.
air to breathe is a human right
privacy is a human right
peace and pursuit of happiness are human rights
Affordable good preventative health care is a human right.
WE should have a sliding scale similar to this: Any family earning less than $150,000 per year qualifies for a tax credit for any insurance premiums they have to personally pay for, all the way down to families making at least $70,000 per year. Families making less than $70,000 per year get a smaller tax break, but also get a discount of up to 50% of the cost of their insurance. So they would have to go out and get their insurance and the insurance company can bill the fed government for the part the customer did not pay. Families or households making less than $25,000 per year, get free healthcare if they can provide proof of citizenship.
Reply:It IS affordable - - - health insurance is a few hundred per month, and dental insurance is a fraction of that (yes, I noticed you threw in dental there - - is vision next? How about a pedicure while we're at it?). Of the 45 million "Americans without health insurance" 20 million are illegal immigrants. That leaves 25 million - - - which out of a population of 305 million is hardly a "crisis."
And please "families who make minimum wage" - - - - about 1.5% of the workforce makes minimum wage and 70% of them get at least a 30% raise within the first six months. It's an entry-level wage - - - immigrants, teens, housewives and elderly people working 3 hour shifts at the local grocery store just to have an excuse to get out of the house make up more than 2/3 of minimum wage earners. Throw in ex-cons and you're up to 3/4.
Reply:How about the families who make minimum wage--rent and food and water comes before health insurance. If they don't need it, they're going to spend the money on something else they need. 200 a month is not affordable for families living in those conditions.
Reply:Give me a hundred bucks and I'll tell you. That's basically what your asking everybody else to do....hand over money to complete strangers because they "can't afford it." No problem..I can't afford it either. Just send me some money directly from you checking account and then we'll talk. But until then, you're just another hypocrite in Democratic clothing expecting everybody else to give these people a handout.

Stop having sex and making kids when you can barely afford one.
Maybe have some low level government sponsored health care that is availble to low income folks, but have it in no way on par (coverage wise) with private insurance companies. If I pay more for my insurance (assuming I'm healthy and am not paying extravagant premiums already), I want better service/support.
Reply:Let's look at these working people who say they cannot afford health care. How many of them have two new cars, a nice large home, TV/DVD/VCR in every room, multiple computers, Internet access, Cell phones, Eat out more than 4 nights a week or take out more than once? Most people can afford Health Insurance, they just choose not to. So your over dramatization that they will die on a street corner is just ridiculous and wrong.
Reply:I just do not want the government in control of my health care and health insurance.
Reply:So you think that giving the Gov MORE control over it will fix the problem???? If you'd like to donate your own money to help the cause that is your freedom and right to do so, I refuse to accept a policy that demands taxes out of my pay check to pay for other people...they already take medicare and social security which I will never see...what more do you want????
Reply:I doubt anyone is opposed to affordable health care, however socializing the health care system is not an option, it would ruin the quality of health care in our country. Tax incentives are certainly an option, among various other things, increasing private competition with smaller clinics for miniscule problems, instead of paying to see a doctor.
Don't forget about tort reform. That would help.
Reply:Bogus medical malpractice suits are the primary cause of the high cost of medicine. It takes the form of astronomical malpractice insurance premiums and massive legal staff required to defend and pre-empt these suits. Let's fix it!
Reply:It's a matter of priorities for us. I'm 56 and married and we are self-insured. That's important to us so we don't have a new car, don't eat out as often as we would like, don't travel as much as we want because our insurance is $700 per month and that's a great big chunk out of our monthly living expenses.
Reply:First I am not opposed to Health Care reform. I am opposed to Health Care for All By the Government or Socialized Medicine.
Guess what everyone pays for health care. If you have an employer then health care is part of you benefits package. You are paying for it instead of receiving the money.
For reform maybe the allowable increase should be capped. Or maybe once you have a policy then it is yours to keep.
If your employer does not offer health insurance the get a new employer. You may have to make 6 grand less a year but you get your insurance.
Your description is more about greed. The employee wants as much cash as possible. None of this cash is put towards a policy so why must taxpayers spring for this?
Reply:One of the earliest Senate plans was aptly named,"COBRA"?
I actually checked to see how much it would cost to keep my coverage between jobs...$560 per month! Doesn't sound too bad in 2007 but when one is earning a whopping $150 per week take home...this leaves about $40 for the monthly rent, car note and food. That was the last time I checked on "The Snake".
So I stay away from bungee jumping, skiing, and motorcycles.
And I take care of myself...eat correctly...mostly and if I get in a serious car wreck..."no oble engles" and I have amnesia for the other words!
Reply:Working families can try to get high deductible catastrophic health plans. This will protect them from financial ruin should cancer or something else happen. Most hospitals and doctors will allow you to make monthly payments as long as they get the bulk of their money from the insurance company. These same families drive expensive cars, have designer clothes and etc so why not be responsible with that money?
Senior citizens could afford more prescriptions if pharmaceutical companies were as interested in helping people as they are in making profits. Prescription markups can be as much as 4000 percent. Also, all the TV advertisement costs are being pasted on to consumers.
Universal Health Care will simply cost more in the long run. Taxes will be ridiculous and the government being involved in my medical decisions is quite frankly....terrifying! To have to wait 3-6 months for a CAT scan is a scary thought.
Reply:Did I miss something? Is health care now a "right" guaranteed under the constitution? Is the taxpayer of this country responsible for ensuring the health of everyone in this country? Sure, adequate health care is a problem, but allowing the government control over who gets what when is just begging for even more problems.
Reply:I am not opposed to healthcare reform! I am a single mom with no healthcare, because I work for a republican, %26amp; they keep electing those who will keep it for themselves! I just don't think we need to cover all the illegals! (my son is covered thru his father, so at least it would only be me! I don't smoke, %26amp; can't have any more kids %26amp; ame generally healthy!)
Reply:I love it. You don't want 'affordable' health care or health care reform. You want FREE health care. You want other people to pay for their health care AND yours. Quit polishing it up with bleeding heart stories. You're standing there with your hand out wanting folks like me to not only pay my taxes and pay for my families insurance (Currently it's over $1,400 a month), but to pay for yours as well so that you can have FREE health care. And I bet you'd call me greedy. I work and provide EVERYTHING for my family. I ask nothing of you or of anyone. I pay my way in all things and always have....ALWAYS...because I made the right decisions in my life and didn't have a family until I could afford one. Children are NOT a right, they're a responsibility! You, on the other hand, want me to provide for you and your family. You know what Moonbeam? I have enough dependents. I am not terribly amenable to picking up a few million more. Amazing.
So, to answer your question, you need to recognize that we are not immortal. That the cost of medical care today is the result of extraordinary and complex medicines and equipment that cost vast sums of money to manufacture and use. What you want is an 'affordable Rolls Royce'. People are no different today than they were a hundred years ago. We have the same diseases. Basic care and basic dentistry is not that expensive. Pay for it yourself and deal with it. But stay the heck out of my pocket you greedy, irresponsible, leech!
Reply:How will they pay for it? France has a 20% income tax and the UK's is 15%. If we use your number of $40,000 then you would be paying $667 in taxes a month for it. That is $167 dollars more than the $500 they pay with insurance.
Everyone wants something for nothing and everyone has good intentions on how to spend other peoples money. In the end though there is never something for nothing. If the government takes it over they will have to pay for it. If they pay what the insurance companies pay, it will cost more the Defense Departments budget each year.
Reply:I'm not at all apposed to heath care reform and affordable health care at all. I truly believe there must be a way to go about providing health care for everyone without breaking the bank! I'd like to see a system in place that is NOT operated by our federal government, a government that is not trustworthy when it comes to running things, in particular situations of this magnitude.
Reply:First off, to reduce the cost of health care in this country, remove liberal judges who make outrageous awards to "victims". Insurance companies are overburdened with these extreme punitive damage awards and thus have to charge more for their insurance.
As for those families who do not make enough to afford health care, find better jobs or take more jobs. Don't blame education or lack of training. If a person wants to better themselves, there is ample opportunity to do so. Heck the government can pay for most of it anyway. Further, if you can't afford the kids, don't have them until you can.
Finally, preventive healthcare? Give me a break!!!! You can't do that yourself? You can't brush your teeth daily? You can't push away from the table? You can't bring a healthy lunch instead of going to McDonald's? You can't walk around the block once or twice? Give me a Break!
As for each of your examples, there are clear, well thought out actions that would eliminate those "problems". First a family of 6, offer vasectomies and such to prevent kids being born to people who can't and/or won't be able to afford them. The elderly, what the heck is medicare, medicaid, and social security? The bums you speak of want to be so. Where are their families?
Don't present your sob stories because there are answers for each and every one of them.
Reply:Who's OPPOSED to affordable health care?
Some people have to make sacrifices for health care, but it is affordable. Going without a vacation in the alps or a flat screen TV for medication is not a health care crisis. If I got sick tomorrow I would sell my car, move someplace cheaper and streamline my life. Nobody wants to sacrifice, they want to maintain their life style on the government's dime. And, they want somebody else to pay more taxes to do it.
Should we all be held responsible for an unwed mother who has had six kids with four men? That's a curable ill.
Should we all be held responsible for the sexually promiscuous who, surprise surprise, get aids? Aids is curable, just keep it in your pajamas.
Should we all be held responsible for chain smokers?
Should we all be held responsible for people who never go for a check up, a breast exam or a colonoscopy. Most cancers are curable with early detection.
It would be more affordable if everyone was required to be covered.
The biggest obstacle to the current system is people who just walk into the emergency room, get treated and refuse the coverage counseling the hospital is required to give them. If they're not cured they get an ambulance chaser to sue a system they never paid in to.
As far as the bums go....the ones who are not insane, have made a conscious decision not to participate. Most of them are in major cities that have mobile programs funded by taxes and private organizations that bring the care to them and they still refuse it.
You can't force it on people. What would you do?
Do you really think that will change if you reform something?
Don't kid yourself.
Reply:im not opposed to health care reform... i'm opposed to universal health care... there would be just as many people die off waiting for treatment as there would be in the current system.. or wait 5 months to be seen. look, i'm one of those people you speak of... i definitely do not make 40k, and the insurance my company offers is expensive, so i do not partake.. but, i'd rather be able to pay a private practice and be taken care of if need be than to have my goverment (essentially the taxpayer) pay for a healthcare system that has proven to not be effective. there's a reason people from Canada and the like, come to the US for treatment and pay for it themselves... we need to do something about stupid malpractice lawsuits first of all... many do not realize that the insurance for malpractice is in the MILLIONS. and in turn, they pass that expense on to the patients they serve. this would drastically help. we live in an age of sue happy people, and liberal judges who find that there's always someone to blame for someone's misfortunes. the second problem, and the worst, is the pharmaceutical companies and their outrageous profits. i'm all for people making money, that's capitalism, but not at the expense of people's health.... so, universal healthcare is not the answer... that's borderline socialism. not to mention people wanna complain about government spending... and then we wanna tack another HUGE program on the fiscal calendar. something else that could help... let's try a flat tax system. get rid of SS tax and Federal Taxes. that should free up money for low-income families to afford what they need and it also will essentially and eventually make prices on products and services go down.
Reply:Sigh, why don't people like you ever listen or pay attention? Nobody is opposed to health care reform, we only oppose GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED HEALTH CARE.
Yes, there are problems with our current system, but those problems CAN NOT be solved by government, since government is the problem in most cases.
Nobody wants people to die in the street. But there is a better solution than becoming SLAVES in a government controlled system.
To be blunt, how stupid are you that the ONLY solution you can come up with is the government? There are millions of private companies and charities in the U.S. that can come up with a solution, but you're so dumb that the only thing you can think of is to create a monopoly run by professional liars (politicians). Don't you know anything about basic math or economics? MONOPOLIES ARE BAD!!!!
God help us all that people as ignorant as you are allowed to vote.
Reply:First, if you have a family of six on an annual income of 40K you must be pretty stupid. You should not have a jillion kids if you can't afford to support them. On 40K you could probably manage one kid so you would be a family of 3.
The first step in controlling health care costs is to control lawyers and their frivolous lawsuits. Next control juries who award outlandish sums of money to punish doctors who make honest mistakes. Punitive awards should be capped. Monetary awards should compensate victims for their loss and their pain and suffering. Lawyers should get no more than 10% of that. Incompetent doctors should lose their licence to practice. That's a start.
Reply:I would suggest that you have a certain income, then there are necessary expenses and health care should be one of those, and then there are the fun things, the non-necessary things. You have to live within a budget, everyone does, and that means you may not go out to dinner or movies, or go to sporting events or parties with your buds because you have to pay you necessary expenses first. To do otherwise simply means you are irresponsible and you intend on others paying them for you, which of course is WRONG.
Reply:The conservatives say screw em - let the families go broke trying to keep their loved ones alive or at least comfortable, let the seniors die, screw the homeless and incapable. I got mine - you get yours.

In other words the republican plan is: Don't get sick.

Reply:Bogus medical malpractice suits are the primary cause of the high cost of medicine. It takes the form of astronomical malpractice insurance premiums and massive legal staff required to defend and pre-empt these suits. Let's fix it!
Reply:It's a matter of priorities for us. I'm 56 and married and we are self-insured. That's important to us so we don't have a new car, don't eat out as often as we would like, don't travel as much as we want because our insurance is $700 per month and that's a great big chunk out of our monthly living expenses.
Reply:First I am not opposed to Health Care reform. I am opposed to Health Care for All By the Government or Socialized Medicine.
Guess what everyone pays for health care. If you have an employer then health care is part of you benefits package. You are paying for it instead of receiving the money.
For reform maybe the allowable increase should be capped. Or maybe once you have a policy then it is yours to keep.
If your employer does not offer health insurance the get a new employer. You may have to make 6 grand less a year but you get your insurance.
Your description is more about greed. The employee wants as much cash as possible. None of this cash is put towards a policy so why must taxpayers spring for this?
Reply:One of the earliest Senate plans was aptly named,"COBRA"?
I actually checked to see how much it would cost to keep my coverage between jobs...$560 per month! Doesn't sound too bad in 2007 but when one is earning a whopping $150 per week take home...this leaves about $40 for the monthly rent, car note and food. That was the last time I checked on "The Snake".
So I stay away from bungee jumping, skiing, and motorcycles.
And I take care of myself...eat correctly...mostly and if I get in a serious car wreck..."no oble engles" and I have amnesia for the other words!
Reply:Working families can try to get high deductible catastrophic health plans. This will protect them from financial ruin should cancer or something else happen. Most hospitals and doctors will allow you to make monthly payments as long as they get the bulk of their money from the insurance company. These same families drive expensive cars, have designer clothes and etc so why not be responsible with that money?
Senior citizens could afford more prescriptions if pharmaceutical companies were as interested in helping people as they are in making profits. Prescription markups can be as much as 4000 percent. Also, all the TV advertisement costs are being pasted on to consumers.
Universal Health Care will simply cost more in the long run. Taxes will be ridiculous and the government being involved in my medical decisions is quite frankly....terrifying! To have to wait 3-6 months for a CAT scan is a scary thought.
Reply:Did I miss something? Is health care now a "right" guaranteed under the constitution? Is the taxpayer of this country responsible for ensuring the health of everyone in this country? Sure, adequate health care is a problem, but allowing the government control over who gets what when is just begging for even more problems.
Reply:I am not opposed to healthcare reform! I am a single mom with no healthcare, because I work for a republican, %26amp; they keep electing those who will keep it for themselves! I just don't think we need to cover all the illegals! (my son is covered thru his father, so at least it would only be me! I don't smoke, %26amp; can't have any more kids %26amp; ame generally healthy!)
Reply:I love it. You don't want 'affordable' health care or health care reform. You want FREE health care. You want other people to pay for their health care AND yours. Quit polishing it up with bleeding heart stories. You're standing there with your hand out wanting folks like me to not only pay my taxes and pay for my families insurance (Currently it's over $1,400 a month), but to pay for yours as well so that you can have FREE health care. And I bet you'd call me greedy. I work and provide EVERYTHING for my family. I ask nothing of you or of anyone. I pay my way in all things and always have....ALWAYS...because I made the right decisions in my life and didn't have a family until I could afford one. Children are NOT a right, they're a responsibility! You, on the other hand, want me to provide for you and your family. You know what Moonbeam? I have enough dependents. I am not terribly amenable to picking up a few million more. Amazing.
So, to answer your question, you need to recognize that we are not immortal. That the cost of medical care today is the result of extraordinary and complex medicines and equipment that cost vast sums of money to manufacture and use. What you want is an 'affordable Rolls Royce'. People are no different today than they were a hundred years ago. We have the same diseases. Basic care and basic dentistry is not that expensive. Pay for it yourself and deal with it. But stay the heck out of my pocket you greedy, irresponsible, leech!
Reply:How will they pay for it? France has a 20% income tax and the UK's is 15%. If we use your number of $40,000 then you would be paying $667 in taxes a month for it. That is $167 dollars more than the $500 they pay with insurance.
Everyone wants something for nothing and everyone has good intentions on how to spend other peoples money. In the end though there is never something for nothing. If the government takes it over they will have to pay for it. If they pay what the insurance companies pay, it will cost more the Defense Departments budget each year.
Reply:I'm not at all apposed to heath care reform and affordable health care at all. I truly believe there must be a way to go about providing health care for everyone without breaking the bank! I'd like to see a system in place that is NOT operated by our federal government, a government that is not trustworthy when it comes to running things, in particular situations of this magnitude.
Reply:First off, to reduce the cost of health care in this country, remove liberal judges who make outrageous awards to "victims". Insurance companies are overburdened with these extreme punitive damage awards and thus have to charge more for their insurance.
As for those families who do not make enough to afford health care, find better jobs or take more jobs. Don't blame education or lack of training. If a person wants to better themselves, there is ample opportunity to do so. Heck the government can pay for most of it anyway. Further, if you can't afford the kids, don't have them until you can.
Finally, preventive healthcare? Give me a break!!!! You can't do that yourself? You can't brush your teeth daily? You can't push away from the table? You can't bring a healthy lunch instead of going to McDonald's? You can't walk around the block once or twice? Give me a Break!
As for each of your examples, there are clear, well thought out actions that would eliminate those "problems". First a family of 6, offer vasectomies and such to prevent kids being born to people who can't and/or won't be able to afford them. The elderly, what the heck is medicare, medicaid, and social security? The bums you speak of want to be so. Where are their families?
Don't present your sob stories because there are answers for each and every one of them.
Reply:Who's OPPOSED to affordable health care?
Some people have to make sacrifices for health care, but it is affordable. Going without a vacation in the alps or a flat screen TV for medication is not a health care crisis. If I got sick tomorrow I would sell my car, move someplace cheaper and streamline my life. Nobody wants to sacrifice, they want to maintain their life style on the government's dime. And, they want somebody else to pay more taxes to do it.
Should we all be held responsible for an unwed mother who has had six kids with four men? That's a curable ill.
Should we all be held responsible for the sexually promiscuous who, surprise surprise, get aids? Aids is curable, just keep it in your pajamas.
Should we all be held responsible for chain smokers?
Should we all be held responsible for people who never go for a check up, a breast exam or a colonoscopy. Most cancers are curable with early detection.
It would be more affordable if everyone was required to be covered.
The biggest obstacle to the current system is people who just walk into the emergency room, get treated and refuse the coverage counseling the hospital is required to give them. If they're not cured they get an ambulance chaser to sue a system they never paid in to.
As far as the bums go....the ones who are not insane, have made a conscious decision not to participate. Most of them are in major cities that have mobile programs funded by taxes and private organizations that bring the care to them and they still refuse it.
You can't force it on people. What would you do?
Do you really think that will change if you reform something?
Don't kid yourself.
Reply:im not opposed to health care reform... i'm opposed to universal health care... there would be just as many people die off waiting for treatment as there would be in the current system.. or wait 5 months to be seen. look, i'm one of those people you speak of... i definitely do not make 40k, and the insurance my company offers is expensive, so i do not partake.. but, i'd rather be able to pay a private practice and be taken care of if need be than to have my goverment (essentially the taxpayer) pay for a healthcare system that has proven to not be effective. there's a reason people from Canada and the like, come to the US for treatment and pay for it themselves... we need to do something about stupid malpractice lawsuits first of all... many do not realize that the insurance for malpractice is in the MILLIONS. and in turn, they pass that expense on to the patients they serve. this would drastically help. we live in an age of sue happy people, and liberal judges who find that there's always someone to blame for someone's misfortunes. the second problem, and the worst, is the pharmaceutical companies and their outrageous profits. i'm all for people making money, that's capitalism, but not at the expense of people's health.... so, universal healthcare is not the answer... that's borderline socialism. not to mention people wanna complain about government spending... and then we wanna tack another HUGE program on the fiscal calendar. something else that could help... let's try a flat tax system. get rid of SS tax and Federal Taxes. that should free up money for low-income families to afford what they need and it also will essentially and eventually make prices on products and services go down.
Reply:Sigh, why don't people like you ever listen or pay attention? Nobody is opposed to health care reform, we only oppose GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED HEALTH CARE.
Yes, there are problems with our current system, but those problems CAN NOT be solved by government, since government is the problem in most cases.
Nobody wants people to die in the street. But there is a better solution than becoming SLAVES in a government controlled system.
To be blunt, how stupid are you that the ONLY solution you can come up with is the government? There are millions of private companies and charities in the U.S. that can come up with a solution, but you're so dumb that the only thing you can think of is to create a monopoly run by professional liars (politicians). Don't you know anything about basic math or economics? MONOPOLIES ARE BAD!!!!
God help us all that people as ignorant as you are allowed to vote.
Reply:First, if you have a family of six on an annual income of 40K you must be pretty stupid. You should not have a jillion kids if you can't afford to support them. On 40K you could probably manage one kid so you would be a family of 3.
The first step in controlling health care costs is to control lawyers and their frivolous lawsuits. Next control juries who award outlandish sums of money to punish doctors who make honest mistakes. Punitive awards should be capped. Monetary awards should compensate victims for their loss and their pain and suffering. Lawyers should get no more than 10% of that. Incompetent doctors should lose their licence to practice. That's a start.
Reply:I would suggest that you have a certain income, then there are necessary expenses and health care should be one of those, and then there are the fun things, the non-necessary things. You have to live within a budget, everyone does, and that means you may not go out to dinner or movies, or go to sporting events or parties with your buds because you have to pay you necessary expenses first. To do otherwise simply means you are irresponsible and you intend on others paying them for you, which of course is WRONG.
Reply:The conservatives say screw em - let the families go broke trying to keep their loved ones alive or at least comfortable, let the seniors die, screw the homeless and incapable. I got mine - you get yours.
As I said before: Selfishness. %26lt;grin%26gt;
In other words the republican plan is: Don't get sick.

Help I'm in pain?
I was eating dinner last night and something happen to one of my teeth. Now my jaw is swollen and it is throbbing badly I can't find a dentist or clinic that is open today My health insurance has a 150 dollar co-pay for emergency room I don't even think dental is covered that way Any ideas to help my pain
Help I'm in pain?
Rinse your mouth with warm salt water frequently
Apply ice to your jaw
Take an anti-inflammatory med like ibuprophen, naproxen, aspirin as directed every six hours until you see a dentist
Buy a topical dental analgesic at the drug store to numb the area
Call your family doc's emergency number and ask for some vicodin or vicoprophen to be called into your pharmacy until you can see a dentist. It is a narcotic pain reliever with an anti-inflammatory med included.
Otherwise, go to a walk-in clinic and have them write you a script until you can be seen.
Tooth pain is awful. Hope you feel better and hope this helps. Alternating heat and cold to the area for 15 minutes each every two hours may help as well.
Reply:Time being give slight ice bag massage..but you have to contact Dentist.
Reply:take some tylenol to help with the pain. go in your bathroom and use the tiniest mirror you can find and hold it near your mouth so you can see against another mirror. Try and see if you have a cavity or if your wisdom teeth are growing in. That can happen at any age, at any time. If not, it's probably sensitive to whatever you just ate. Still unsure? See the dentist whenever they are open. I don't think it's something to be worried about, but if its causing that much pain you need to get it checked out
Reply:Get some clove oil. It should help with the pain. The root-canal treatment you need should be done asap.
Reply:Do wash your mouth with mouth wash at regular intervals --say 30 mints.You will get relieve.Change your brush and while you are having the problem clean the brush with dettol.Thus you see.Ok.
Reply:motrin is the best pain releif for teeth and if it's swoolen if you have any anitbiotics take them.
Reply:If you cannot see your dentist, you can go to any ER, and they will treat you with antibiotics and pain medication, and it will be covered by insurance
Reply:Oragel makes a tooth pain topic sold in your local drug store. There are low income dental offices and free clinics. Also, there are college students trainging to be dentist who will also do the work for you in some community colleges. It becomes apart of their class work and you get free dental.
Look into it for your area.

Does your town or city give any free health programs already for the people that can't afford it?
Our town gives the school kids free lunches, free dental exams and free healtlh exams. The emergency room takes anyone in regardless of whether they can pay or not. Does yours or do you need more government control over it as Hillary and Moore suggests?
Does your town or city give any free health programs already for the people that can't afford it?
Yes, Denver/Colorado does. And actually, they did a better job at it before the Democrats took over. Now things are the same but the only difference is that the Democrats are now taxing me out of business.
Reply:Yes - I work for a non-profit medical foundation, so all the extra money we make gets recycled back into the medical community. With that, we do things like provide free health care to uninsured patients who are below the poverty line; and any uninsured patient (regardless of financial status) will never have to pay the full billed charges when they receive care in our hospitals.
All hospitals ER's take uninsured patients ~ which is part of the problem. Since people don't have insurance, they either go to the ER, or they wait until their symptoms get so bad, that they need to go to the ER. Either way, we end up paying more for their ER care than we would have if they were able to be seen by a regular doctor in the first place. Insurance companies make money by NOT paying people's claims. They try whatever they can to NOT pay your medical bills, so you, the patient, has to. That's not how heath care should work. It should not be used to make people rich at the expense of people's lives. I don't know what the solution should be, but our system now is broken and *something* needs to be done about it.
Reply:Yep, our ER (like theyre required to) takes in everyone regardless of ability to pay.
To pay for that, the cost is added to taxes, insurance, and hospital bills of people who do pay. Wouldnt it be better to take care of it up front instead of having to pay all of it anyway but after it has gotten out of hand and has to be paid at 2x or more the actual cost?
National Health care doesnt take care of more people, it takes care of the system.
Reply:At last another moderate! You know, 40 years ago in the U.S. city, state and county hospitals and clinics served pretty much the entire population and health insurance was the exception to the rule. The system was not perfect, but religious, charitable and teaching hospitals filled in the gaps quite well.
Today, the giant philanthropic hospitals are some of the biggest moneymakers out there and few if any are giving much care away for free.
It was actually the left, that's right, Democrats, who championed the end of public health care. Indeed they were tearing down some of the worse patient abuse in modern history, but the baby was thrown out with the bath water as losing these avenues of health care has been devastating and worse, the so-called mainstreaming of the mentally ill has proven a disaster.

Does your town or city give any free health programs already for the people that can't afford it?
Yes, Denver/Colorado does. And actually, they did a better job at it before the Democrats took over. Now things are the same but the only difference is that the Democrats are now taxing me out of business.
Reply:Yes - I work for a non-profit medical foundation, so all the extra money we make gets recycled back into the medical community. With that, we do things like provide free health care to uninsured patients who are below the poverty line; and any uninsured patient (regardless of financial status) will never have to pay the full billed charges when they receive care in our hospitals.
All hospitals ER's take uninsured patients ~ which is part of the problem. Since people don't have insurance, they either go to the ER, or they wait until their symptoms get so bad, that they need to go to the ER. Either way, we end up paying more for their ER care than we would have if they were able to be seen by a regular doctor in the first place. Insurance companies make money by NOT paying people's claims. They try whatever they can to NOT pay your medical bills, so you, the patient, has to. That's not how heath care should work. It should not be used to make people rich at the expense of people's lives. I don't know what the solution should be, but our system now is broken and *something* needs to be done about it.
Reply:Yep, our ER (like theyre required to) takes in everyone regardless of ability to pay.
To pay for that, the cost is added to taxes, insurance, and hospital bills of people who do pay. Wouldnt it be better to take care of it up front instead of having to pay all of it anyway but after it has gotten out of hand and has to be paid at 2x or more the actual cost?
National Health care doesnt take care of more people, it takes care of the system.
Reply:At last another moderate! You know, 40 years ago in the U.S. city, state and county hospitals and clinics served pretty much the entire population and health insurance was the exception to the rule. The system was not perfect, but religious, charitable and teaching hospitals filled in the gaps quite well.
Today, the giant philanthropic hospitals are some of the biggest moneymakers out there and few if any are giving much care away for free.
It was actually the left, that's right, Democrats, who championed the end of public health care. Indeed they were tearing down some of the worse patient abuse in modern history, but the baby was thrown out with the bath water as losing these avenues of health care has been devastating and worse, the so-called mainstreaming of the mentally ill has proven a disaster.

Any opinions on Zetz, Michael R DDS - Ash Zetz & Sundheimer in Canton, OH?
I was refered to this D.D.S. from the emergency room, need a lot of dental surgury, if you've ever gone to Michael Zetz, please tell me what you think, would like some info, before making an appt. please tell me anything you can and please" the truth" not what you think, I want to hear, Thanks !
Any opinions on Zetz, Michael R DDS - Ash Zetz %26amp; Sundheimer in Canton, OH?
Before any surgical procedure is even started you will have an initial consult with the doctor, this should give you the opportunity to survey the office, staff, and especially the dentist. If something tells you that this dentist or office is not for you, then by all means, have consults with other oral surgeons. This is "your" dental health and you should be confident and comfortable with whom ever you choose to trust your dental health to. Good luck with your upcoming procedures.
Reply:better make sure they will accept your insurance before you make the appointment.

How can one make a decent life earning just $25,000 per year? That's all I make and I just can't figure out how to afford a house note with insurance, a car note with insurance, to feed my face, phone bill, electric bill, water bill, sewer bill, garbage bill, gas bill, cable bill, internet bill, clothes, personal care, retiremnent savings, emergency health care savings, health insurance, dental insurance, entertainment, child care and rearing, holiday gifts, charity donations, lawn care, etc..

Don't know what to choose. i plan to transfer to a four year college later on?
i am planning to attend my local community college but i am confused. i want to be in the medical field. these are the majors the college offer in the health science. (c) stands for certificate, (a) stands for associate degree and (d) stands for diploma.

One of the above will allow you to get a good-paying, flexible job while getting a BS (and you won't have to wipe rectums). You will also get experience in the medical field. You should also take all the general courses you can at community college (that TRANSFER--and check to confirm), so you won't have to pay to take these during your BS.
Reply:You should pick a diploma course, that would look best when you transferred to a four year college.
Reply:Go for nursing. Nursing is a very commonly offered major at most four-year institutions and that way you will get continuity in your education rather than picking a field and then not being able to continue with the exact same field at a four-year college. Most of the skills you mentioned you do not need a four-year degree. But you should get a four-year degree if you want better job prospects and more money. Nursing would be your best option.

My husband got hit in the mouth with a shovel, now his tooth is loose, what do we do?
My husband was digging a hole outside, when the shovel handle came back and hit him in the mouth. Now his lower front tooth is loose! We don't have a dentist, or even dental insurance, but is this an emergency? Will the tooth heal by itself?? Please help, I'm very worried!!
My husband got hit in the mouth with a shovel, now his tooth is loose, what do we do?
Chances are the tooth won't heal if it is loose already. Any trauma that loosens a tooth has the high probability of causing the nerve to die, if the tooth isn't fractured already. It would be best for him to see a dentist; if the tooth doesn't die from the trauma, he may be able to splint the tooth to the two adjacent teeth, giving the loose tooth extra support until its supporting ligaments have time to heal and hopefully the tooth will survive as well. Don't play with or move the tooth excessively, avoid any hard foods or ones that he would have to bite into. Also take an Ibuprofen such as Advil or Motrin 600 mg every 4 to 6 hours; this is to reduce the inflammation and pain, helping the tooth to settle down until you can get an emergency appointment with a dentist.
Additional information: Even without insurance this is a necessary trip to the dentist.
If the tooth can be saved by splinting, it will first need to be x rayed to make sure it isn't fractured; this is about 15 to 20 dollars for a periapical x ray. The exam and office visit for a new patient is about $100.00 then the splinting is approximately $50-100 depending on the dentist and the area. So it could be as little as $220.00 unless the tooth has suffered irreversible nerve damage, then it will require a root canal and a little later a crown with a post and core build up.
First your dentist will want to make sure the tooth tightens up in the socket so it can be retained before proceeding with a root canal and crown, if this is necessary. If the nerve is inflamed due to the trauma, he may treat it with an antibiotic therapy, to help it heal, if at all possible or he may do a pulpotomy removing the nerve giving it time to heal and tighten up before proceeding with the completion of the root canal and then the crown.
The least is about the $220.00 for the splinting and the highest would be about $1500.00 to $1800.00 for the root canal and crown. You may be able to set up a payment plan for either, again this will depend upon the dentist and his office policy. I wouldn't advise waiting on having this tooth examined; its possible it can be saved with minor treatment or it may be inevitable that it will demand treatment later with a good deal of pain from an abscess or fractured tooth that could be avoided.
Reply:Hopefully all will work out well for your husband's tooth, glad to be of help. Report It
Reply:1. Why dont you have a dentist?
2. Why Dont you have Dental insurance?
First, get the insurance sorted out, Try find a local dentist.
No, it won't heal on its own, Either Pull it out
Tell your husband to be more careful Or Find a dentist.
Reply:try ringing nhs direct they might be able to give you the number for a emergency dentist it won't heal by itself
Reply:Not if it is broken below the gum line.You need an x-ray to tell that.He may have to see a dentist.If you go to the E.R. they can x-ray it and tell you.If you have insurance that may be the way to go.After all it was an accident and that's what the E.R. is for.Good luck.

Where can I get a Personal Loan from until I get my Federal Tax Return Deposited?
I need fast cash like on Monday for emergency Travel for my daughters Dental. If you know where to get fast cash please let me know. I am looking for $500.00 until i get my tax return.
Where can I get a Personal Loan from until I get my Federal Tax Return Deposited?
It costs a little bit of money, but the only place I know of is a check cashing place. If you have a personal checking account, all you should need is a couple of paycheck stubs, a bank statement, and a piece of mail (they prefer a bill of some sort) that has your correct address on it. It cost a certain % every day usually pretty high, but it depends how much you need the money. They will keep your personal check til your next pay check, or you can pay it off sooner and save yourself money. Check it out.

Bioshock--What to do now!>?!?
I killed steinf*cker and took the key, opened the emergency access, and melted the dental area with pyro, but i swapped the fire power for enrage and telekinesis before melting the ice infront of the funeral parlor doors. how do i proceed?
I currently have NO goal, and am just wondering around aimlessly. both little sisters are taken care of, and everytime i kill a bouncer, a new one just walks out of eternal flame...
Do i NEED to go into the funeral area behind the ice ( not the dental) to continue?
also, if i go past the RPG turret and into that next area..can I return to this medical area later on so that I can pick up all the stuff I left behind?

you have to go the emergency access and go into the sub thing. and yes, you can access all the areas at any time you want

"Immigrant Benefits Focus of Welfare Reform Challenges
Activists opposing welfare reform are challenging the new law through court suits. Many will focus on cessation of benefits to legal noncitizen immigrants totaling 40 percent of the $55 billion savings over six years.
The GOP-sponsored welfare reform bill signed in August:
* Ends food stamps and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments for most adult legal noncitizen immigrants now receiving them -- a provision President Clinton wants to abandon.
* Bars future noncitizen immigrants from getting most forms of federal aid during their first five years in this country.
* Authorizes, but does not require, states to cut off, Medicaid and social services for noncitizens.
From 1986 to 1993, the noncitizen caseload under SSI grew on average 15 percent a year with evidence of fraud involved, according to the General Accounting Office.
Major challenges will emerge in California, which is home to a third of the nation's immigrants. In April, the state intends to begin cutting off food stamps from some 373,000 of 436,000 legal immigrants now getting them. Prominent among the groups challenging welfare reform is the American Civil Liberties Union.
However, the cuts are not as all-encompassing as some opposition rhetoric makes them appear. Legal immigrants can retain their welfare benefits by becoming citizens -- as many are already doing. And many noncitizen immigrants are exempted from the cutoffs: refugees, political asylum seekers, U.S. military veterans, victims of domestic violence, children on food stamps or SSI or immigrants employed in the U.S. for at least 10 years."

A lot of companies have different plans to choose from-various copays, deductibles, etc. Make sure you look at your office visit copay, your prescription copay, and if you're planning on kids, do they cover pregnancy? They may add a rider on for an additional premium. Just ask questions about emergency room visits/surgery, etc. I have not seen very many individual plans that have vision or dental, some I've seen for mental care. They can also be sneaky about preventive care. The lower the premium, the higher the deductible, so be willing to pay a little more premium. If you belong to Sam's Club, they have some decent insurance policies through their website.
Reply:I would suggest going to State Farm, they will let you pick and choose what you want how much of a deductible etc... they are very good, I haven't had any problems yet and I can change my plan at any time.

it will provide you with job stability, you are basically guaranteed to find a job
also, i know that there is a huge demand for Physician Assistants
however, it depends on 1-your interests (if you are really interested in radiography or opticianry or veterinary science or dentistry and would be happiest working in one specific field, you should pursue that), and 2-your lifestyle preferences (nurses usually work long hours while physician assistants are more likely to have a 9-5 position)
Reply:nursing probably. if you're good with biology and chemistry. you get the chance to help people every day and if you get stuck, you can always call a doctor
Reply:It really depends on what you're interested in and for how long you'd like to be "in" the university. I know that Radiography majors graduate in two years, while other majors in the medical area can take between 4 to 8 years.

Any medicine area that has to do with Emergencies is bound to be more stressful than a more home-based practice. It's up to you in the end.

Husband stalks, accuses you of affairs, cussing you out in public, even though you've spent thousands on him, his kids and his parents, he tells you what a cheap liar/a-- you are. Refuses to say he loves you because he doesn't want to upset his 14 yo daughter (my step daughter) definitely cannot hold hands with wife for same reason. brother in law calls you every name in the book. never spoke to him in wife's life. step son inappropriate to wife sexually. step daughter calls you every name in the book (14 yo). husband never says anything to kids. husbands injured for 6 months/unable to work lawn service. wife works her full time job and also keeps husbands commerical business going on weekends. his children refuse to help saying they won't do anything to help their dad. father in law cusses wife(daughter in law) out after she paid for denture/dental work due to an emergency he was in. he voided warranty due to his own negligence-is this a family from h--- or what?

Be glad to be done with them no matter the cost. I lost my two older kids, but I will get them back. Just a matter of time.
Reply:Oh my goodness! Take your money and your life out of there. That is torture. Do it now. Sneak out tonight! I really don't understand why you stayed this long. You need to take care of yourself emotionally and this is NOT it. Please get out!
Reply:It's all their fault and they shouldn't have put a gun to your head and made you do all those things, including getting married. Here in the United States people can't force people to get married and do those things, you should move here.
Reply:That was hellishly awful and completely amusing at the same time, sorry. I had to laugh at that bunch of degenerates. I hope you can too someday.

With niceness. No really!
the meaner they get, the nicer you get. Make a game of it. It will drive them nuts...

Reply:If it sucks so bad, why haven't you left yet? You have a job so you have the financial resources to start over on your own. Stop whining, leave and get over it. You're stupid if things are this bad and you stay.
Reply:Yes, it is and it's about time you STOP letting everyone ride you woman! Tell your husband that it is time he talks to his children about appropriate respectful behaviour towards their step mother. Same should apply to the rest of his family. They are acting like this because your husband LETS them!
If this is the kind of life you see for yourself, do nothing and keep complainning in syberspace.
If you want better, then give your hubster an ultimatum. It's either things change or you are out of there.
Sorry Sweets but your man dissapeared because you allowed him to.
I wish you well.

Reply:This sounds like a very dysfunctional marriage. It sounds like you both need help.
If you are seeking a divorce, then why do you have contact with him? Unless you have children together there is no reason for you to have contact except through a lawyer. This is a very difficult time for the both of you so you have to have some time apart to let your emotions settle down. You are both like a cancer to each other that keeps coming back. Every time you see each other it is like opening up a can of emotions, especially at this stage of your divorce. It is like having the love of your life die, and then come back to life only to die again. Divorce is a difficult thing to accept, (as you know,) and because it can be so painful, whenever you see each other, you end up having very irrational conversations because behind your words there is pain. When you feel pain, it is hard to sometimes be rational even when you have the best intentions. Give each other some time to accept that you are getting a divorce by not having any contact. Not having any contact will allow him to accept that the death of your marriage is real. Maybe letting go is hard for him. If you want some peace in your life, then doing all you can to avoid traveling in the same circles for awhile is key.
Seeing as your husband is stalking you, have you thought about getting a restraining order?
Reply:Wow. They really stink!!!! Good thing you got out before it got any worse, if it could. Have fun now and don't get married again for a long time.
Reply:Fool you once, shame on them. Fool you twice, shame on you!
You walked out of one bad marriage and into another. It also looks as though you are talking like a victim. A lot of bad stuff going on here that doesn't sound healthy. Talk to a counselor. they will do a lot more for you than Yahoo Answers.

It's a lot but i need some answers, what do you think?!!?!??!?
I talked about sharp shooting pains in my last few questions...one being right by my right ear. Got a cat scan of my head, looks fine. Now my cheek is puffy in a large area and kinda feels funny when i talked or move it at all. It feels like theres something in there when i push on it. Can this only be a dental thing? Or can this happen from some other infection? Im in pain still and i think i need antibiotics. Also, It seems to become more noticable after i smoke a cigarette...could that be affecting my muscle or nerve from the sucking? I thought before i had migraines then an ear infection and now a dental problem...I just need some opinions...is this all related? I dont have insurance, how much would it be if i went to the dental office for an emergency exam? Would they see me? I know its a lot of questions...but ive been suffering from all this for quite some time and im sick of it.
It's a lot but i need some answers, what do you think?!!?!??!?
Maybe you can go to a free clinic. It sounds like it could be from a tooth infection, and infections can be serious. You don't need to see a dentist about an infection, a doctor should be able to diagnose it and prescribe you some antibiotics if that's the case. Pleeeeease do all that you can to stop smoking. Take this as a warning. Life is already SO SHORT and we only get one shot at it. Why risk taking years off your life with something so silly? It's a tough battle, but there are all sorts of things to help you get through it if cold turkey's not an option. Join an online group for support. It's easier to do things like that when you've got someone to talk to. Doctors will also be more encouraged to help you when they see you're taking your health seriously.

Reply:first things first, get insurance.
some of this may be caused by stress, and STOP smoking!!!
that stuff will kill ya.
after that see a good doc, ask around.
Reply:It could be a swollen gland. Also, it could be an infection deep in your inner ear, or in the mastoid area(cyst).
Silly question: Why would you get a CAT scan first if you have no insurance?
Reply:I would call around and get some prices from dental offices, try the ones that are dentists that are recommended from the people you trust because so many out there are not reliable and will do what they can to just take your money. There is good honest dentists out there. Yes, it does sound like a dental problem, at least it happened here, same symptoms, you may have an abscess or need a root canal done. You should be able to get in to see a dentist with a day or so. Being in pain, they seem to put you ahead of routine appointments. You will need an X Ray done of your teeth and gums, the dentist will show these to you and point out the problem right then and there. Get it done, it will get worse if you don't. In the meantime, use ibuprofen. It is best for an inflammatory. The cigarettes will aggravate your problem just like eating or talking or cold air etc. I bet you have a bad tooth in the rear of your mouth. been there, it is miserable!!!!! Feel for you. Good Luck! P.S. initial appointment should not be that much as for the rest of the treatment, most good dentists would be happy to put you on a payment plan. I bet you have an infection in the gum line!
Reply:Hey where I live there's free clinics and Charity Care, You should get yourself checked, the bottom part of my jaw gets really swolen cause of a wisdom tooth that gets infection every now and then and I get an ear infection,
