Reply to comment by fourfivesausages in How are you voting on Question 2? The one about regulating dental insurance. by fourfivesausages

If I understand what Q2 is saying, people who do not use their insurance get a rebate on what they have paid. Where the insurer would only get to keep the amount of administration fees.

Now I don't know what other people are getting for dental insurance, but my experience has been I pay say $900/yr and my coverage is $1200. Any more price increases, is going to make having insurance unnecessary as what you pay in will be the same as what they cover. Dental insurance is really quite lame anyways and is far to small coverage for anything besides cleanings and maybe 1 filling.

Makes you wonder how much money they make from people who do not use it. Frankly, dental insurance should be included in health insurance and covered for whatever you need to be done.

Honestly root canals need to be reclassified into basic medical treatment, it’s not cosmetic or looks, the patients are in agonizing pain
