My new wife is thrilled with her

with her new dentist. As of February 1st she is covered under my Union/Company Traditional BC/BS. It cover medical, dental and eye care.
A couple of days ago she cracked a tooth. It was making her tongue soar and worried about it. Called my dentist and he got her in that day. There was a deductible, so she had to pay $16. out of pocket.
Her expensive healthcare she had to buy through her job didn’t cover any dental.
She is an RN and does home car for a couple of infants. Great pay but terrible and expensive health care insurance she had to pay lot for out of pocket.
We just celebrated our one month anniversary on the 1st of the month.

He rebuilt the tooth and it looks great. I think he is great. Never any pain and seems to be an artist.
She is no longer in pain and he said her tongue will heal in a day or two.

I have a retiree health care plan that is much better than anything suggested available on tv or in the mail. Lower deductibles. No co-pays for primary. No monthly premiums. Zero cost Rx for generic and $33 for 90 day brand for 90 days. and more. I have 3 plan options in my state. 3 plan options available in 6 different states. The other states have two options. Members in my chapter live in 44 different states. Our coverage is available to over 500,000 of our members and spouses.

You can switch to some new plan. They said they could not come close to my traditional plan.
