Unlike Jay I still have all of my teeth. And why do you think Jay doesn't have a full complement of teeth? He is an attorney. So I am guessing he makes at least the median US income. So he should be able to afford a dental insurance plan. He is an independent attorney, not employed by a firm. So he does have to purchase his own plan. But I assume there are insurance plans available to attorneys offices. So he is probably able to get dental insurance through work, sort of, if he cannot purchase a dental plan as an individual. A serious question here. Can't the average USian afford dental care without an insurance plan? Dental insurance is not a panacea, even fairly good ones pay a small fraction of major dental expenses. In my experience many USians can't afford much dental care at all. Of course, by definition, your average insurance premiums will exceed your average claim costs, so if you can’t afford basic dental care without insurance, you probably can’t afford it with insurance (unless somebody else is subsidizing your premiums). My experience with employer-paid dental insurance was that it paid for routine cleaning, exams, and so forth, but paid little on expensive procedures. Seems backwards from what insurance should be. Agreed. Perhaps that’s the difference between a “dental care package” and “dental insurance”. |
