God I hate insurance companies. I especially hate Metlife, which provides the dental insurance for my company.I had a crown pop out a couple of weeks ago. I went to the dentist, and he sent me to a specialist for a root canal, and building a foundation for a replacement crown. So far so good. Then the bomb dropped on me today. Metlife has a 5 year waiting period before they will pay for a crown to be replaced, and since the bad crown was originally placed in March of 2004, I would have to wait until April of 2009 for Metlife to pay for my crown. So, I have to cough up $721 to get this new crown.
It's not my fault the damn crown popped off. I didn't take a hammer and knock it out. By the way, Metlife only pays for half the price of the crown in the first place. It's not like this is elective. You either need a crown or your don't. I'm not looking for some extra bling in my mouth. No need to get my grill on.
Insurance companies are nothing but a scam. They don't care about the patients. All they care about is taking our money and figuring out ways to screw us out of payment. Of course, I'm not saying something you don't already know.
That's why we need universal health care NOW dammit!

You really can't blame the insurance. You should have found out what your benefits were before you paid for it instead of assuming that the policy would cover you. Such crybabies.
fuck you mr. i'm too chicken shit to leave my name from south carolina. first of all, i didn't pay for the insurance. it's provided by the company. of course, i guess you think that makes me even more of a crybaby. insurance companies suck. you know it. everyone knows it. maybe you work for an insurance company.
