Actually shaking and fucking crying. $3,400 for five teeth. I thought there’d be a payment plan or something but no. They really expected me to pay $3,400 in full today.
I wasn’t informed of payment options. I wasn’t informed of the price before a week ago. I’ve been preparing and waiting for this for over a fucking year!
Financial worker asked how much I could afford today. Said $10. Then she told me I couldn’t get the surgery. Told her I guess I’m just too poor to fucking exist. Just left. So sick of it. I’m begging for wage slavery and begging for thousands of dollars in medical debt. I’m begging for these awful fucking things, credit cards as well. It’s like I’m going around screaming “kick me in the nuts!” at the nut-kicking convention and nobody can fucking hear me, or worse, hears me and says they’d rather kick someone who’s wasted away more of their time behind a cash register than I have in the nuts.
My teeth are gonna come in crooked, penetrating my sinuses and squeezing my other teeth together so hard I don’t go a day without bleeding and swelling. It’s only gonna get worse.
FUCK.
Do you live near the border with another country that might have cheaper dental services?
Canada is maybe half the cost, Mexico is maybe half the cost. Unfortunately I live in the Midwest, so Canada’s a better bet though I don’t border it. Still have to pay ~$1800 according to a brief skim of the internet, but it’s… better lol.
Cuba pls allow me medical asylum this country is a fuck 😫 I’d do literally any type of labor, forever, for the privilege!
you should consider going over the border to mexico. There’s a whole industry catering towards americans crossing the border to get dental work done.
2nding this. Depending on the type of dental work you need, taking a trip to mexico might be your best bet.
