Because, health is something people cannot control. . My GF has had 3 surgeries in past but tries to stay as healthy as possible. She still has to pay RIDICULOUSLY high insurance rates.

AND it is not fair to others who are healthy, nor is it fair to the company to have to pay extra for her. . . I understand this. That is why profiting businesses should not control this.

If the government has at least some sort of program, it can balance this out. . . Expensive, yeah, but moral. I would willingly give a charity tax of like 20 dollars a year to support this. Health insurance will not be as good and people will not be able to get their fucking teeth whitened on the insurance paycheck, but it will at least give good people with medical pasts that are not their fault at all a fair chance at fair coverage. . .

Peoples’ lives’ and wellbeing should not be controlled by business and profit margins. . . lol

Argue with me. . . peace
P. S. My dad is in health insurance. . . and it has made my life very easy because it gives him a very large paycheck. . . . .
So I am the snob kid that got drunk in college with your family’s health insurance money. . smiles. . . Just think about that a while.
I’M ARGUEING FOR UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE. .

I just noticed the way the question was worded was weird. . . It wasn’t supposed to be a question. . . sorry peace
Doctors work to help others therefore they get paid. . . insurance only works off of profit from fear. . . And yes it is still a very good thing now (i understand this), but I think there could be a better system. Businessmen should be selling things other than insurance IMO.

I don’t want you to hate me dude, but I just realized that now as I was writing, and thought that it was kind of ridiculous myself. . .

should you brush your teeth before or after using a teeth whitening tray? for example, a crest or aquafresh, or cvs/rite aid brand.

Do you smile less these days because your pearly whites have lost their luster?  The consumption of certain foods and drinks, smoking, or even the process of aging itself may be the cause for this change. Teeth whitening, however, can bring back your wonderful smile.
 
A variety of over-the-counter teeth whitening options are available for every budget. Whitening strips, brush-on whiteners, whitening toothpaste, and even whitening floss are available in stores and on the Internet.
 
Although they can be effective, expecting a quick fix from home whitening products may bring disappointment. Many of these over-the-counter items aren’t for everyone. Over-use or incorrect use of these self-administered products can harm your tooth enamel and irritate your gums. To fully ensure the health of your smile, see your dentist before trying any at-home teeth whitening techniques.
 
Many dentists recommend professional teeth whitening services instead of over-the- counter treatments. According to dentists around the country, teeth whitening treatments are now one of the most requested cosmetic dental procedures. Dentist-dispensed whitening trays, bleaching kits, and whitening strips are also increasingly popular. Since they contain higher percentages of bleach and can be used over longer periods of time, dentist-dispensed professional teeth whitening kits produce superior results than over-the-counter kits.
 
For those who have dull or a more severe case of discolored teeth, dental veneers are a better option. Dental veneers have the added benefit of longevity and a proven ability to enhance the appearance of mouth and smile. Although dental veneers require a greater commitment than teeth whitening, the results are well worth it.
 
Regardless of the method you choose, results will be more effective if your teeth are healthy, clean, and free of plaque. If it has been awhile since your last dental checkup, now is the time to make an appointment. A professional dental cleaning is a great first step toward achieving the smile you desire.

My braces come off in 5 days (today is 4/21 and they come off 4/26). I just bought the crest 3D white toothpaste and wanted to know if it would be bad to start using it now even though I still have my braces on.

Right, first of all I am not being arrogant or trying to say I am the king of all players etc because I will admit I am not. However, I have confidence in myself and believe I am good looking because many women have said so. The fact is that I would rather meet attractive women in nightclubs than go for an easy “pull”. When I get a drink at the bar I get smiled at often by mainly unattractive females who I have no interest in. How should I react? Should I just smile back and move on?
