I think dentists nowadays are greedy.
I have had an appointment with a dentist to get a tooth pulled. I didn’t expect my car to mess up, so when I called the morning of the appointment and explained the situation, I offered to pay half.
They refused.
My tooth abscessed and needs to be pulled. I live on a fixed income and have kids of my own, but no insurance.
I have been going there and always paid up front. But this time, I couldn’t pay upfront, and was refused. I think that’s a little bit dirty.

The expanded background check bill was blocked from debate by Republican leadership in the most undemocratic, heartless and shameful votes ever cast in our Senate!
Since 92 percent of us want these checks, the vote of 54 for debate and 46 against should have ensured continuation of our democratic process.
Four Democrats — Max Baucus of Montana, Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Mark Begich of Alaska and Heidi Heitcamp of North Dakota — broke from their party and cast shameful votes against debate.

What’s the difference in America’s health care system and organized crime? Simple. One is legal, the other is not.
I am amazed that people just burden themselves nearly to death to pay outrageous health insurance premiums.
What they should do is drop the health insurance, and write their lawmakers demanding that they put a stop to the runaway cost of health care.
Health insurance companies are just another big fat greedy vulture in the system. And like the system, all they want is your money.

I am experiencing a growing concern about genetically modified foods in the food chain.
I have come to the conclusion that genetically modified foods are dangerous: they have been linked to immune disorders, endocrine disruption, sterility, birth defects, accelerated aging, allergies, and organ damage to name a few of the 65 different health risks involved.
