A HITCH IN MY GIDDY'UP

Well poop...I just knew things were moving too smoothly...Dont get me wrong, I am not ungratefull for what I have, just pissed off that what I want is now put on hold. after quite a few appointments to get my teeth fixed and my partials made....the lady in book keeping called YESTERDAY. She said in the beginning she was "getting pre-approval" from my insurance company...she informed me then that my finacial obligation after insurance paid theirs would be about 1800 dollars. Okay I thought, I can do that, it will be tight but IF I am ever going to quit smoking and put on weight it would be nice if I could at least eat....the inch and a half gap in the whole back of my mouth makes it almost impossible to chew anything with any real substance. I had most of my molars pulled...they were all in need of 3000 dollars worth of work....times that by 16!!!!!!!! So over the last few years I have had them pulled as they broke and caused problems...no insurance, and I sure as hell can not afford their rates to fix them...so for 250 I had them pulled....So now the frame work is done the teeth themselves should be with in a week. Yesterday I recieved a message on my answering machine...."Spoken to the insurance agencey...you part is $3760. Your insurance company has a thousand dollar max." Funny should she not have known this in the beginning...but more so "A THOUSAND DOLLARS!!" Do you know how fast a grand will go in one of those dentists chairs....I have had chemo specialists that charge less then the damn dentist in our country.....I learned the teeth are our first line of defense as well as the beginning of proper and good nutritional habbits....why are they not mandated like docs are? Who would I write too to complain about this....Bush seems too damn busy over seas to pay much attention to what is going on in his own country....Seems my local government could not do much as it is a national issue.....Maybe the American Dental Association needs a "hate letter" as Brittany so lovingly called my last political adventure....Maybe I will send a similar one to the American Medical Association...they are huge although I feel they probably will not want any changes in the dental area...bad teeth means poor health and more patients visiting docs and hospitals. Maybe the insurance companys is where I should start....So in the mean time...please drive by the corner of Northern Lights and Minnisota...the new sign holder could use your spare change for her new teeth that will now be sitting three blocks from my mouth untill I can pay them off.................................
