Dental care concerns

I think most graduate students I've spoken with are super-excited about the prospect of getting dental insurance in the fall. As thrilled as I am that GEO's agitation has finally paid off a bit, I am concerned about the fact that we've heard nothing about this proposed change in quite some time. About a year ago, the administration announced a new health and dental clinic that would supposedly take the place of good insurance. Then the whole thing got dropped - and no thanks to the IDS for following up or dealing with this issue at all.

Now, this year, the news is even better with the announcement of dental insurance. But why has there been no news in quite some time. By this time of the year, the insurance committee has met at least once and some information should exist - like who will carry the insurance. Even that little bit of information would make this graduate employee feel like some movement is being made and that the administration isn't jerking us around again.

So let's hope that new information becomes available soon....let's believe in the relative honesty in the administration, and let's believe that our teeth won't fall out because we're *finally* going to get the insurance we money-makers deserve.
