iago: We have Blue Cross, but the counting the gas bill/cost for x-rays, let alone getting the actual tooth pulled/amount of stress my mom is already under, I look at it as, it's my problem, and shouldn't make it a burden on other family member's to get it fixed.
Doesn't Blue Cross cover all that stuff? Well, except for the gas bill, as far as I know..
Or am I misunderstanding the point of Blue Cross? When I say how cool Canada is for having free healthcare, Americans counter by saying that everybody there has Blue Cross, so they don't pay for it..
The bottom line is, unless you're willing to go to your parents about it, the only solution is to tie a string to it, tie the other end to a door knob, and slam. Or to a truck, or use pliers, or something equally painful. Failing that, deal with it.
Or call Sidoh's mom..
