This makes me laugh. One good thing we had with my dh's dental insurance was it covered dental implants iwth a $100 copay (for the impant itself, the post and crown were $$$ on top of...

(of corse they do nto say what the former copay was just that "we are excited to bring you a reasonable copay of $350...." It is all in how you spin it!
