Twitter Nick Jack Pappas@Pappiness Why do people care if 9 out of 10 dentists recommend a toothpaste brand? Dentists make more money when you have bad teeth. I want a toothpaste recommended by 9 out of 10 health insurance companies.

I always found it strange... insurances offer a "free" annual exam, but if you need additional testing and care, you get fucked. Youd think snipping health problems in the butt as they prop up would be an incentive to reducing costs. But it just shows how corporations give zero thought to actually care and is more incentivized for people to keep paying insurances and never use it except when they are likely to expire...
