My mother loves me enough to cause me pain

Short post today, I don't feel all that well. This is mostly due to the fact that I have one less tooth than I had this morning. The dentist pulled out one of my wisdom teeth that was causing my some sleepless nights. Because I'm uninsured my mother helped pay for the extraction, now I'm bleeding and a wee bit high.

Funny thing is, having no insurance is better than having bad insurance. I looked into getting my teeth fixed last year when Jamie still had an upper level job at MSU. (Michigan State) Our co-pay ad out of pocket cost was about $1500. Sorry we didn't just have that much cash just lying around the house, so it didn't get done. Now I have no insurance so programs for the insured cut the cost to $380, and not I have better teeth, or at least one less of them. Wow, is all I can say when people without coverage can get the care they need, and people with coverage get nothing.

Well, until I feel better
Alex

Hey mason hope you are feeling better.
I must not be too bright because when Alexandria Mason friended me on facebook I thought she was some pushy cousin of yours or something. I just figured it out when you sent out your blog address like a week ago!
Say hi to Jamie for me.
Love
