We get a modest eye exam and glasses coverage at work and dental that is fine as long as nothing is wrong, but those co-pays shoot way up if you have to have word done outside of regular cleanings. They act like your eyes and teeth aren't a part of your health. It's time all of those things were lumped together, yet truth be told, most "traditional" health care plans probably booted those two out because too many folks actually need glasses and dental work. It's like kicking out those with "pre-existing conditions."

So how long do you have to eat a mashed potatoe diet, Amos?
