I don't figure Canada's much better in that respect, Bee-Dub. Dental work is very expensive here and it is NOT covered by our health insurance program! It's the big gaping hole in the program. Most of the other medical stuff is covered, but not dental...unless it is surgery done in a hospital by an M.D. I have no other notable medical expenses most of the time, but dental is a killer. If I was close to Mexico, and I knew the right place to go, I'd probably do exactly what Amos is doing.....aside from the visits with Chinga, that is! (shudder) I wouldn't touch her with a ten-foot pole. Not even a six inch pole. Uh-uh.
