Insurance....

So basically, the bottom line is health insurance is very important and curtail to everybody. However, now a days it is hard for a lot of American to receive health insurance, leaving them on their own to find it themselves, which is usually to expensive for most of us to afford. So what were Obama’s views on this? Well he said that everybody should be covered, and that he would make it cheap and affordable to everyone. But what has he done yet? Well nothing.
What makes me even madder is the fact that some health places, such as dentists, doctors, and so on, are receiving money from the insurance, when they are not doing anything to get it. I have a major problem with my dentist I have been to them since November for the pain in my tooth, my first dentist said that he could not see anything, after taking an X-ray and waiting two weeks to hear back, so I switched dentists and the second one said that I would need a crown on the tooth, however, it was still a baby tooth so they had to do a root canal on it before they could even consider the crown. While waiting for the root canal I had an infection under the tooth and I specifically told them that, so they gave me a prescription for an antibiotic, the following week when I returned, they opened my mouth and took a look, did nothing and sent me home telling me that I still had an infection, after 4 weeks of pain killers and different antibiotics, I went back and they proceeded with the root canal. Then they stopped... in the middle of it... and said it was still infected. So the infection got out, and I swallowed it and then got really sick. Two weeks later, I went back for them to finish the root canal and they did, very painfully I might add. Then a week later I was scheduled for Prep for the crown. After getting the crown I saw a doctor because of a lump in my lower jaw, right around where the dentist was messing around, so he ordered a cat scan to rule out cancer, and thought it was just a basest. Turns out I had another problem with my mouth... my wisdom teeth was seen in the cats can and they were on the opposite side of my mouth and not causing me any discomfort, so anyways, my doctor referred me to a oral surgeon to take a look at my wisdom teeth, along with the lump in my jaw. When I visited the oral surgeon, he said that my dentist knew that he could not have saved the tooth, so why did they do ALL of the stuff they did? Each dentist appointment was at least $300 even when they didn’t do anything and sent me home rescheduling, how can you make money off of that? That didn’t seem fair. But that’s insurance for you..... You get insurance so that you won’t have a lot of medical bills if something happens to you... just think, if I didn’t have any insurance than I would probably be in debt for years just because the dentist was stupid...
