Dental insurance is the only thing I keep because what I pay generally evens out to preventative cleanings, x-rays, and other minor things through the year. I don't have any other insurance because what's offered to me is not worth the price paid - it's essentially a love letter to Aetna and the president's 287th gold-plated yacht.

Last time I was in the dentists office, I was asked to update any information. Couple of questions, yes address is still the same, I don't know if the phone number is right and I don't care because I block everything and everyone, you can send to that email if you want but it's got a really aggressive spam filter and it will can you, etc...

I was asked if I have medical insurance. No, same as last time.

"Oh, I think you do, you just don't know it."

Um, I think I'd know if I was paying nearly 200 a month for nothing. That would be pretty obvious in my paycheck, don't you think?

"Uh....oh it's opt in then?"

When has any insurance provided by a company ever not been 'opt-in'?

The absolute look of utter stupidity on this person's face. Fortunately, this was just a low-level hygenist and have nothing to do with the dentists themselves, who are very good at what they do.

What is the matter with people? They must not even have the capacity to think about things around them. Bread and circuses, I guess.

Medical doctors in particular, although I've met some PhD people that didn't have the common sense of a cutting board.

A guy I know, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at a large university. The power went out at his apartment building one day and he ended up stuck inside because he couldn't figure out how to operate the manual override on the garage door to get out.

He's reasonably smart, does a bunch of shit related to designing fighter jets or something, but he has the common sense of a worm.

Medical doctors disgust me now. They are lickspittle coward rule followers who would happily euthanize you without your consent if that was what the checklist said to do. Bunch of spineless cowards, I'd rather spend the afternoon with politicians and used car salesmen than medical doctors.

That's pretty bad...the long red string with the red handle and a tag that says "FOR USE IN EMERGENCIES" on it?

I've known others that couldn't find that while staring at it, so...yeah...
