Who is eligible for the H&D plan?
Uh... Students. I'm pretty sure.
Fantastic. I chipped a tooth this week.
That sounds stressful.
I feel that.
Well! When I see you next week I will have a brand new smile!
Totally. But knowing that I have coverage for it makes it a lot easier. I have a hard enough time with the dentist. I don't need to be stressed out about $$$ too.
