ALREADY FEELING PINCH OF ECONOMY : HEALTH CARE

A friend of mine lost her job last year. She has been looking for a job but there aren't any jobs and age is a factor. She doesn't have health care nor dental. Her tooth has been bothering her for awhile and she had no relief.

She went to several practices and they turned her away because she had no cash. She receives social security. She cannot get medicare until she is 65 years old. The university or county hospital that will pull her tooth, stated they only pull teeth.

They will not do cleanings, root canals or crowns. It was a rude awakening for this lady. She was hoping to get a job and medical and dental coverage. This is a preview of the coverage of the government health plan. There will be no frills.
