Throbs, Chills, Pills, and Bills

Had a couple of wisdom teeth pulled on Monday. Still recovering.

Funny thing: Neither my dental insurance nor my “medical” insurance covered the procedure. Yet the teeth were a source of pain, contributed to a bad bite, and prohibited me from enjoying nuts and other similar crunchy foods.

In all the talk about healthcare reform, this is one of the hot buttons for me. How about medical insurance that covers the entire body—including eyes and teeth and feet and mind? One policy covering one whole body—indivisible—with justice and well-being for all?

Gotta go. Time to apply another ice pack.
