I am living on Social Security. I get so little that the state pays for my Medicare & drugs. I have to pay for phone, electric, dial-up & rent. I went to college just before retiring so I have a loan that is now down to $18,000 to pay off. Whatever I canÕt pay for in cash, I put on my credit card. So I am now in debt to Discover for another $2,000 +. The point IÕm making is that I am so broke, that I have no money left over to afford the high deductible on dental bills. Because of this, I have ten holes in my teeth from fillings that have crumbled and I canÕt afford to even think about the repairs.
