New York state budget snags linger

[TexasTowelie]

7. I was having dental incidents (root canals, decayed fillings, second crowns) about once a month

over about a five year period. The dentist was sick of seeing me. I was down to only five teeth in my upper jaw and it was obvious that those were rotting so I bit the bullet and had them removed. I had 11 teeth extracted from my lower jaw about 4 months later. If I were to win the lottery then I would get implants which would cost about $30,000. The dentures cost about $4,000 and the two surgeries were about $5,000 more which ate up most of my severance money. The COBRA insurance that I had before the teeth deteriorated took another huge chunk. I was a victim of bad timing since the middle of 2011.
