Well I had dental insurance at my old job and lost it. Then my hours rapidly declined. A filling fell out. Got laid off and haven't been able to catch up. My unemployment is about to run out but I just signed up for Humana with the same assumption that put me off from getting insurance in the first place - even if I had it I still wouldn't be able to afford the tooth pull. So I guess I'm one of the lazy and uneducated. Thanks.
Regardless that's not the point. The point is that irrespective of how 'lazy' or 'uneducated' you perceive anyone to be they should still have the basic human right of not having to die from something that is simple and preventable.
- iends 13y agoI suppose if you brushed and flossed everyday like you should, you would still have to had the filling done originally? No? I suppose then that you knew you should brush and decided not to (lazy), or you were to young to know better (uneducated). Is this a false dichotomy? Now that's out of the way. There are many free dental clinics that would examine the tooth and pull or fill if needed. Sure, you may have to wait in line a few hours. There are also usually public health clinics that charge very little. What city, state are you in? I'm in NC and know more about stuff in the state, but could certainly find clinics, public health, etc in other states.
