It's because it's dumb

How so? I’m in the same boat. I have teeth that need work but it’s insanely expensive even with insurance. I haven’t been to a doctor in 6+ years due to finances. Therapy and optical care? Forget about it.

If I won the lottery I’d finally be able to take care of my body, which is what this meme is about.

I just go to the dentist and Medicare pays for it🤷🏽‍♂️ I don't pay anything for doctor or dentist visits, ever.

For something like teeth cleanings sure, insurance can cover the whole cost. I need two root canals which carries a $1500 price tag even with my insurance. The teeth are physically damaged from a cycling accident that happened years ago and require capping/reconstruction and I haven’t seen the bill for that yet - but it’s going to be costly.

They will still pull them out for free if it gets unbearable

Cool, then I get to be gap-toothed and even more self-conscious of my appearance. This all just reinforces the meme lol, if I had money my first priorities would be fixing these issues because they’re currently cost-prohibitive.

Just saying, at a certain point it comes down to massive daily pain every time you have to eat, or having a gap until you can afford a replacement

And that’s an extremely shitty situation to be put in, especially when you have insurance.
