Ha ha @TAB I dunno. I've just been taking out the garbage and getting a few tasks done this arvo. Not much else to report. Worked out if I did my stash of food fallback strategy could save enough money this fortnight for my dentist. I'm up-to-date on all my utilities bills its just this stupid dental visit, could have done without it. Thinking of taking out dental insurance maybe in future, will have to look into that possibly.

I used to have health insurance with HBA years ago. Have not needed insurance up until now with dental. Checked prices of health insurance some time back and it was really pricey with extras. I sort of consigned myself to the fact I would be on a public waiting list if in need of surgery etc. But am getting older so may have to look into it. Which insurance mob are you with @TAB ?

Ive only got extras @Former-Member sort of forgot was thinking about basic hospital eg w endless wait for thyroid surgery.
i was was like most of them, chopping and changing til decided on HBF
deal you get varies state to state. Hbf is from WA and not for profit

I just checked so you don't have health cover, just extras, with your insurer: HBF to cover only dental? Dental is $10 / week and health insurance is $30 / week which works out a lot. They don't have any HBF centres in Victoria its just in WA. So I presume HBF is only for people in your state and not Australia-wide @TAB ?
