    I have been poking around and actually came across the Insurance Commisioners Office! And Apple Insurance for Kids through the state! Which seems to be AWESOME!! Now, I wait for the call back.......Medicare open enrollment just started. Oi!

  4. Dental Health Services 800-637-6453 it is open to Washington and Oregon residents. There is a list of who accepts the plan and I got the list then polled my friends and blog for recommendations. I had a financial shock from emergency dental that grew into a $4,000 fix for one tooth. The dentist was a wonderful, kind, exceptionally talented, but it prompted me to research and purchase for under $20 a month (YES ITS TRUE)a plan that would have saved me $3,000.

    Thanks JacksMom! Really good info! All the dental add on's I've seen have been $80+/mo.
    P.S. The ICO was really not that helpful, unfortunately. So, I am still looking..... So far LifeWise seems to be the best. Any other suggestions?

    Medicare does not cover dental or vision. I go to a dental hygienest (sp)school @ 1/3 the cost. A real dentist does the work. Students observe. This is cheeper than any insurance. Google them in seattle. (They are NE- but worth the short drive) I will try to get back to you with #.
