Insurance...... Yeah right!

I live in the beautiful state of Washington. Filling with gorgeous landscapes and one of the fastest growing metropolis'! Home to Amazon, Boeing, Microsoft, Nintendo, and many more. You'd never think our states medical system was so messed up. It took me one year exactly to get insurance approval. I only had one dentist to go to. My first round of extractions with this dentist was nothing short of the scariest visit ever! 5 molars were coming out. A man walked in, immediately shot me up with numbing medication and before it even kicked in he put his knee on my chest and arm on my through and told me to suck it up. I felt it all! He pulled 5 molars with nothing numb. I've had 22 hr natural child birth, I'd rather go through that again than this dentist experience. So after this, I begged the state to find me another dentist who took the state medicaid. Guess what, nothing! No options. So I had to wait for the other approvals to come in or else he was going to do this 5 teeth at a time. 1 yr went by. My state medicaid was almost useless. I couldn't go anywhere else and i had to wait for the paperwork to get on someone's desk. Worst anxiety causing wait ever!
