Teeth. Removed. Efficiently. Thankfully.

Had three hopelessly damaged lower molars yanked out today - at first the docs wanted me to pay over $1200.00, as we weren't sure either Medicaid or Badger Care would cover the cost of the triple extraction. But then I politely, carefully, tactfully complained a bit about medical assistance - how it's so deficient in terms of covering dental procedures. And so I ended up getting Medicaid or Badger Care to cover it, not sure which. Final bill for this necessary operation? A whopping nine dollars! Sometimes ya lose - but sometimes ya WIN the battle of wits, or empathy, or WHATEVER, too! Remember that, on this beautiful, mild day. "It's the squeaky hinge that gets the grease!!!!"
