Medical insurance absolutely covers your eyes and teeth, it just doesn’t cover optometrist or dentist services. It covers related medical doctor services, like ophthalmologists or periodontists. Also dental and vision insurance in my experience has been way cheaper and easier to use than medical insurance, I don’t want them to be part of my medical insurance lol
Isn’t it because they are different providers? I don’t go to a hospital to get oral surgery or an eye exam…
Wait what? Coincidentally, I actually have gone to a hospital to see a podiatrist…
You need surgery for a really bad ingrown toenail. I’m guessing some sort of person with podietry experience would be involved.
You are pretty close. The American Medical Association, (AMA), and the American Dental Association, (ADA), are the 2 different medical organizations that represent each group. Originally, they tried to set up one association but the dentists decided to form their own group. This has lead to group bargaining with insurance companies. Which leads to separate policies being needed.
United States is fucked
Canada too. At least I can get a cheap pair of glasses online, but my god is the dentist ever expensive.
You can get teeth online, too. Even if they’re not the highest quality, they usually still have a reasonable amount of flavor left on them.
Luxury bones
I mean, really, how could anyone think that the abilities to eat and to see are in any way related to human health?
I can see their point if instead of being fleshy humans, we are androids without mouths and cameras instead of eyes.
Then they can collect all the premiums and not have to pay out! Brilliant business strategy. Time to start converting people into robots.
I hope I’m part of a pneumatic delivery system! Like human centipede, but bidirectional.
