6 months after recession announced I had a tooth crack and break off, which previously gone thru a root canal years earlier. now facing fact I was unemployed, no health insurance of any kind, i had to dig into my own savings to pay for the procedure to extract the tooth via surgery. lack of access to health/dental care is always a major issue. also when country is in a financial crises medical practitioners should be concern with the welfare of its patient not the fact they are not able to pay. now its 2 years later for me, last wisdom tooth hurts more now. and my savings is gone for 7 or 8 months. will this happen to me too? where is the humanity thru out the recession? have we become so narrow minded.. selfish.. that we can not ban together in our hour of need?
