Here’s what I recommend (SAVE this post for later 📌 ) 1. Call your dentist before you cancel your next appointment. Ask: “Are you still seeing patients with Delta Dental, even though you’re no longer in-network?” You may be surprised by the answer. 2. Find out whether your plan covers out-of-network care. If you have a Delta Dental PPO plan, you can generally continue seeing your dentist and receive some reimbursement. But not every plan works this way. DeltaCare USA and certain other plans generally don’t cover routine care outside their networks. Call the number on your insurance card and ask: “What are my out-of-network benefits?” 3. Ask what you’ll actually pay. This is the most important step. Don’t just ask whether your insurance covers 80% of a procedure. That percentage may apply to an amount set by your insurer, not what your dentist actually charges. Ask your dentist’s office for an estimate of your total out-of-pocket cost, after any expected insurance reimbursement. You might pay more. You might find the difference is manageable. But get the numbers before making a decision. 4. Ask whether your dentist will still submit your claims. Some out-of-network dentists will continue filing insurance claims for you, just as I did. Others may ask you to pay upfront and submit your own claim for reimbursement. Know how your office handles this before your appointment. 5. If you get dental benefits through work, talk to HR. Ask whether your employer offers another dental plan with better access to your dentist or better out-of-network benefits. If your current plan doesn’t offer out-of-network benefits, ask HR when your next enrollment period begins so you can explore switching to a plan that lets you keep seeing your dentist. And if enough employees are unhappy with their dental coverage, make that known when it’s time for benefits renewal. -Dr. B

In 1975, General Daniel "Chappie" James Jr. made history as the first African American four-star general in the United States Armed Forces. His name is trending as the most unqualified Defense Secretary in history Pete Hegseth has allegedly removed his photo from the Air Force Art Gallery. In this interview for “Black Horizons” on @WQED, the #Tuskegee graduate and highly-decorated fighter pilot who trained pilots in WWII, and flew combat missions in both Korean & Vietnam wars, responds to claims that his promotion was merely to fulfill a quota rather than the result of years of tireless service and dedication. 📽: @amarchivepub #ChappieJames

US MARINE VETERAN CONFRONTS ESTABLISHMENT: "Why won't Israel send its own soldiers to fight Iran?" 🚨🇺🇸🪖 A decorated veteran's raw confrontational video has exploded across social media, challenging the foundational core of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.In a viral broadcast racking up millions of views, a former U.S. Marine combat veteran delivered a blistering critique of the ongoing military alliance. Standing in front of a backdrop of military service medals, the veteran directly asked why American service members are being deployed into the crosshairs of a potential war with Iran while domestic forces remain insulated from the front-line brunt of the conflict.The veteran didn't stop at regional warfare.Pivotting to firsthand observations and humanitarian reports, the viral clip pulls back the curtain on the brutal reality of Israeli settler expansion in the West Bank. The veteran exposed how foreign tax dollars are actively subsidizing highly aggressive settlement expansions, detailing the daily systemic displacement, restricted movement, and escalating violence faced by Palestinian civilians under military occupation. Key Reality Checks from the Combat Vet:⚠️ The Cost of Proxy Wars: The speaker argues that American military lives should never be treated as expendable assets for foreign geopolitical interests. ⚠️ The West Bank Crisis: Mainstream media often ignores the sheer brutality of settler enforcement, where local families are forced off their ancestral lands under the protection of state forces. ⚠️ The Funding Dilemma: The veteran calls for immediate transparency regarding how billions in U.S. foreign aid are being utilized overseas, demanding that billions be redirected to domestic veterans suffering from PTSD and homelessness.When the individuals who actually fought for the country step up to expose the reality of geopolitical exploitation, the public is forced to listen beyond the standard political talking points. 👇 LET’S DISCUSS IN THE COMMENTS #iranwar #straitofhormuz #iranisraelwar #trump #israel

Koko, a Western lowland gorilla born in 1971, gained worldwide fame for her ability to communicate through a modified version of American Sign Language. Under the guidance of Dr. Penny Patterson, Koko learned over 1,000 signs and demonstrated an impressive understanding of thousands of spoken words, showcasing remarkable emotional intelligence. Koko passed away peacefully in her sleep on June 19, 2018, at the age of 46. A widely circulated video of her signing a message about protecting nature was later clarified as a scripted awareness video, not her actual final words. Nevertheless, it highlighted the deep connection she helped foster between humans and animals, leaving a lasting legacy in the field of interspecies communication.
