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.
