" A November To Remember, Let The Whineathon Begin!"

Sorry for the closeness to Christmas & Hanukkah, we just got back from vacation and too many things going on. Yes, my friends, The Hag losing and Fidel croaking- damn, that's great! November was a tough pill the left has yet to expel from their craw, LOL, and doesn't appear to be ready or willing to do so anytime soon. Much as I tried to encompass it all, my losers list from the last post was a bit incomplete. Let me add these entries to that list of woe.
1) Clinton Foundation & its donors- This is especially true for those foreign donors whose pay to play suddenly became pay to be left hanging. The fact is the Clintons have never really had any product in their professional lives, being career politicians and never holding a real job. Hilary's Rose Law Firm gig was purely Bubba nepotism. All those corrupt, anti-American entities who spent $gazillions for the only thing the Billary Machine had to sell, influence and access are SOL, boo hoo.
2) Pop culture- Have you ever seen more singers, actors, pro jocks, producers, etc. who've gone into mass hysteria mode via all forms of media? Whether it's TV, social media, or any other info outlet, they are going bonkers and showing their stupidity and intolerance like never before. I particularly love all the morons who said they'd leave the country or even the planet, if Trump won. As usual they're all talk and no action. I understand the limitations of intellect in artists, many of whom have little or no education beyond their so called "craft". But you'd think they'd at least hire agents who'd remind them those rants are gonna piss off 50% of their audience.
3) Teacher's unions- These folks are used to their monopoly and undying support from liberal politicians who just got booted. They consistently block vouchers, school choice or any other reforms that might actually bring about competition to challenge their mediocrity. Remember, we spend more $ per student than any other nation and get little in return.

 Imagine if we tried to prohibit all dentists who were not US grads or ADA  members from practicing?
 It's clear the left will NEVER accept Trump. Never mind their calls for tolerance and giving Obama a fair chance to get things done when he was elected. Hypocrisy is the hallmark of liberalism and that's never gonna change. When Obama won in 2008, not only were we forbidden to criticize him, it was a fast track to being called a racist. I don't recall 1000s of GOP voters taking to the streets, shutting down universities to protest Obama. As I've often said, liberalism cannot be coddled or reasoned with, it must be exposed, confronted and defeated! Aside from all this caterwauling, the left is in full attack mode to delegitimize Trump and his cabinet, most of whose nominees scare the living crap outta them. An integral part of this plot is to rewrite history, so as to make people forget it was the Obama-Clinton failures and abuses of power that won the WH for Trump.
The worst of the sour grapes comes (to no surprise) from the person who should least do it, the outgoing Pres. Obama has just let loose a deluge of regulations to tie up business for possibly 2-3 years. His offshore drilling limitations will hurt the economy and cost us jobs. Let's not forget, this the same clown who took the stimulus $ meant for infrastructure as handouts to his fave donors for projects he knew (and didn't give a damn) would fail, like Solyndra. Obama later joked that "those shovel ready jobs weren't so shovel ready after all". Obama will also hold the record for the most pardons and sentence commutations of hardened drug & weapons felons.This is Barry giving the middle finger to the nation, especially those who voted out his party in record numbers. And please, don't anyone tell me these were important issues the president had to act upon. If they had been why the hell were they ignored until now?! If you doubt me, look at the box score, it's very telling and doesn't even include state legislatures, which the GOP owns. Now let's see what the GOP does with this mandate.

The First Lady's not far behind her bitter, vindictive husband in the sour grapes dept. She just couched her remarks in a more self serving arrogance, watch Judge Jeanine tear her a new one:

Can any of you imagine if laura bush had gone on Oprah and siad those ridiculous things? The charges of racism would have been legion.
 Yes, legacy repair or even total rewrite are now the thing for the talking heads and academic eggheads. These lying accomplices will mostly be unchallenged, except for Fox News and talk radio, the very duo Obama, Bubba & Hillary are blaming for their historic loss, LOL. It's hilarious that Obama, who owns a total lock on all media & pop culture, here and abroad, whines about the fact they couldn't win because of O'Reilly, Hannity and Rush. Even the normally intelligent Bubba has succumbed to this same stupidity, looking more like an open mouthed, doddering old fool by the day. If any of you think it's impossible to find a political commentator more obnoxious than me, check out this guy. He tells it with glee.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBDedvplyTQ
The rewrite fantasy & delusion are not limited to legacies or the real reasons for the butt whoopin' the left took. It's now metastasized to the Constitution. It seems most on the loony side can't accept the electoral college or why it was created by the Founding Fathers. I'll just cut to the chase, it exists so dysfunctional, corrupt, bankrupt states like CA & NY don't dictate their disastrous will on the rest of the nation who chooses to believe in America and live within our means. It's bad enough the same idiots who leave these states, after voting for polices they cannot afford to live under, go to red states and proceed to crap them up as well! There's only one group in America that displays this degree of irrational ignorance and pig headed insistence on recreating the very failure they fled. Can any of you guess who that group is? Here's a hint, they may be pig headed, but they don't eat pig.

 Speaking of Islam, let's look at terrorism. This will be the Obama-Clinton legacy in the Middle East and its effect on Europe. The current carnage in Syria is unimaginable but sadly real. This collapse in Syria was fueled by Barry's famous red line, which was about as indelible as Burt the chimney sweep's (Mary Poppins) sidewalk chalk sketches. The millions of refugees have poured out into Europe and mixed among them are hard core terrorists. We just had the Berlin massacre with a truck and automatic weapons. It was done by a monster Germany & the USA were watching, but doing nothing to. Once again, these sub humans infest our nations, work our pathetic legal systems and commit atrocities. Boston, Ft. Hood, San Bernardino, Nice, Paris, Brussels, Berlin-the list is never ending. I don't see a solution for Europe, even if they close down their borders, the vermin is already entrenched and no Euro govt. has the 'nads to go house to house and root them all out. They only act after the fact, always on defense. It'll be interesting to see what, if anything Trump does here to deal with this scum. He'll get resistance from the bleeding hearts but 25 of them are up for Sen. elections in 2 years, 8 in red states Trump won big.
 There's no question Trump will have to treat the left the same way he did his GOP rivals, the honeymoon was over in 1 week. Only time will tell if he succeeds. I'm encouraged by his cabinet, one of well known successful achievers who know how to get it done. Contrast that to Obama's cabinet that looked more like the South Side of Chicago and members were chosen as tokens of race, Marxist credentials or sexual orientation. I know it's almost Christmas & Hanukkah, but this is where we are right now, bitterly divided and with one side that refuses to accept their loss or responsibility for it. This nation is vulnerable and needs a leader who won't bend over to thugs and PC. Let's hope and pray for improvement. In closing, let me wish all of you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and great New Year, see you in 2017!

"Ding Dong, The Witch Is Gone, Witch Is Gone, Witch Is Gone!"

Okay, it was originally the witch is dead, as Dorothy and her 3 pals gleefully sang in Wizard of Oz, but no need to pile on. What we saw last night was no less than the biggest political upset and rejection of govt. arrogance and tyranny in our recent history. A nation of angry voters, fed up with having no voice, being fiscally abused and sending a so called opposition party to DC that did little or nothing, took its revenge last night and it was bloody! There were many more losers than just HRC, I'll list them in descending rank.
1) Obama, every time this despot's policies are on the ballot and he's not, he & they lose big. Obamacare now completed the hat trick I'd predicted it would since 2010. It cost Barry the House (2010), Senate (2014) and now the White House, woo hoo!! But it's also Obama's executive orders that will be burned like kindling in Pres. Trump's first 100 days. Ditto the pipe dream Obama had of open borders and swelling the voter rolls with millions of low skilled, uneducated, lifelong dependents who'd have no other party to vote for than the Dems. This egomaniac's legacy he's so obsessed with, will be torn to shreds.
2) Activist SCOTUS. The dear departed Scalia must be replaced by a true Constitutional conservative who respects the founders' purpose and that the role of the SC is NOT to legislate from the bench. Had HRC won, it would have been another uber lib like the 2 disgraces Obama put in there. The damage done by a bad justice is much longer than any Pres. and impossible to remove by vote.
3) PC & race industry extortion- Unlike past GOP presidents, Trump will confront and refute the grievance mongers and not allow them to dominate the dialogue, especially their Alinsky tactic of calling anyone who disagrees a racist, bigot, homophobe, etc.
4) The Billary Machine. Finally getting the Clintons out of our lives forever is indescribably delicious! This corrupt, dysfunctional duo has been getting away with theft, extortion, rape & murder for decades and never been taken to task for it. The media loves to talk about Bush fatigue, which did exist. But we dealt with that once and for all when low energy Jeb was dispatched this spring, while Bill & Hil' were the perpetual blockage that wouldn't flush. Well, last night angry voters took out their giant plunger and they pushed hard!
5) Media hubris. For too long the so called "mainstream" media enjoyed an info monopoly. Even though talk radio, the internet and FNC took a huge bite out of that, they still controlled the low info audience who only has "free" TV. Their ability to pick the GOP candidate, always sure losers like Dole, McCain and Romney, came to a crashing halt this election. They had no control over Trump and he trashed them with total impunity.Voters no longer trust or believe these frauds who parade as objective journalists but are really the propaganda arm of the DNC.
6) Militant immigration zealots. La Raza, Tacovision (what I call Univision) and the Latino pop culture elites have morphed into activists that use their ignorant, often anti assimilation audiences as a pressure group to intimidate Americans to embrace their open borders and amnesty agenda, or face retaliation. They march in our cities, often with their foreign flags and chant "si se puede" (yes we can) as if to tell us they will outbreed and outvote us, which they've already done in the doomed state of CA (aka Mexifornia). This has led not only the left, but also the spineless RINOs to lecture the GOP candidates to bend over on this issue or else. Well, Trump just demonstrated that the GOP does not have to succumb and can still win in spite of these invaders. Trump got more of the Latino vote than Spanish speaker Mitt did, BTW. This Cuban born American will tell you, we are NOT a bunch of dumb Julios who all think and vote in a block, no offense to anyone named Julio.
7) Perpetual handouts. Forget wars, entitlement spending is the biggest single drag on our economy. We cannot continue to have 95 million jobless Americans, 50 million on food stamps and 99-week unemployment , none of which have any work requirement tied in, thanks to King Barry's "generosity".
8) The New Normal. This piece of Orwellian new speak is the catch all used by Obama and the Dems to excuse the abject failure of their policies and mold the mindset of Americans that this is as good as it gets and don't you dare try to improve it. Voters told the Dems where they could stick the new normal last night!
9) Pollsters and media talking heads. Whether it was FNC, CNN or PMSNBC they were all proven wrong and will be eating crow for a long time. Anyone who heard them go on and on during election night had to LOL at their degree of denial, which was really deception up to the last second. The same goes for all these annoying polling outfits, most of whom got it totally wrong. News and polls are no longer meant to report news, they are designed to make news and control the behavior of the public. This applies to libs like Frank Luntz (who told us in the 2012 WLC that Hillary would win) or Red State's Eric Erickson. They've taken a big hit and need to zip it. We also need to ignore them in future elections, that's what voters did this election.
 No matter what, Trump will have plenty of detractors and those who will work ceaselessly to stop him. I like how Obama, Hillary and Ryan have responded today, let's hope the honeymoon lasts. We already see organized, privately funded rioting in 4 major cities. The GOP is delusional if they believe the left will accept this ass whooping and go away quietly, they won't!They also need to realize that the only reason they still control the Senate is the Trump coat tails. It's no accident that the 3 GOP Sen. candidates who snubbed Trump lost. Any in the GOP who play political games with Trump's agenda may well find themselves in the same boat, come 2018. the same goes for Dems who do the same.
 Marco Rubio solidly trounced challenger, Patrick Murphy. I'm glad he didn't quit after this past March, when he suffered a crushing defeat in the FL primaries.
 As for FDA backed candidates, we did quite well. All our Miami guys & gals won, both in House & Senate. Check out this link for all the races:
http://www.local10.com/news/election-results/miami-dade-county-election-results-nov-8-2016
 I will only mention 2 that are of particular interest to me, both are Dems. Newcomer Daisy Baez has extensive military and healthcare experience and impressed our GAO staff when interviewed. She won and should be quite an asset to FDA issues. I look forward to working with Daisy. The other legislator is Jose Javier Rodriguez, who won a Senate seat, defeating our arch enemy, Miguel Diaz de la Portilla. Sweet! As long as Miguelito chaired Sen. committees, he could block any of our bills, like he did the open carry & campus carry bills that he refused to allow to even be heard or voted on. JJR will be a welcome change. The DLP trio were a career politician family that hung around far too long, good riddance to them!
For Dade county mayor, Carlos Gimenez defeated the obnoxious, unqualified Raquel Regalado, who's sense of entitlement led her to believe she should be county mayor because of her daddy's last name. Hasta la vista, Raquelita! All that said, we have much to be thankful for in 2 weeks but must never get complacent or give back the win.

"What A Mess!"

Hello, my friends, it's been a turbulent few weeks. We got really lucky with Matthew here in Miami, I hope the rest of you fared okay and are recovering. Now, about that other storm. After his disastrous first debate, Trump looked like he was done, a scenario his spineless party jumped all over even faster than his "true" opposition. It's unbelievable how Trump has held up, when we consider who he's running against. Let's add them up: Hillary, the media, debate moderators, Hollywood & the GOP RINO Establishment. Even if we count the entities comprised of many as single units, that comes to 5 to 1, talk about David & Goliath! Of course, it doesn't help that Trump is to often his own worst enemy by his unforced errors, in the form of stupid remarks.
 Then came debate #2 and Trump did what the entire GOP has never had the onions to do in 25 years. He exposed the massive hypocrisy and glass house weakness of the Billary Machine & their enablers on the subject of mistreating women. There's no excuse for the nasty remarks Trump made to that moron, Billy Bush, especially the stupidity of an experienced media person like Donald, forgetting he was already wired and without any way to know when the "record" button would be pushed. That said, it was crude, vulgar guy talk, nothing more. I hate to break it to my lady friends, relatives and colleagues, but boys will be boys. Most guys make such remarks when it's all guys. We can be real pigs and are often done in by the fairer sex. Attila the Hun was done in by a hot babe, not any opposing army. Helen of Troy's abduction caused the Trojan War. The Costa Concordia was sent sideways when the idiot captain got too close to the rocks, trying to impress some hoochie mama dancer. But for the Clintons and all their sycophant minions (including the frustrated loser RINOs whom he vanquished) to go after Trump for that, in light of Bubba's decades of sexual deviancy and outright assault, is laughable. What's most telling to me is that they did it, thought they could get away with it and nearly did. It tells me we've become a nation of stupid, selfish, distracted and disconnected sheeple.
 Once the moderators and Hillary played the women card and Trump launched bomb after bomb, I knew he was in it to win it, whatever the final outcome. Hillary looked dazed and reeling, caught off guard that Trump was fighting back, such is her arrogance and delusion. Not once did the media show Bubba's face in all of that exchange, he must have been shocked and pissed off. I won't go into the long list of women Bill Clinton has either flashed, groped or raped. Here's a link, see for yourselves:
http://albertpeia.com/oxfordassault.htm
BTW, the shadow group, Anonymous, is purported to have a video that shows Bill Clinton raping a 13 year old either in Jeffrey Epstein's private jet, the Lolita Express, or on his private island, Lolita Island, where powerful men go to abuse minors with impunity. They say they plan to release it, which would likely knock Hillary out for good, but I'll believe that when I see it.
 fhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEM7L42x2xcor
If the Clinton cabal goes for the women's  issue in the final debate, Trump can also remind voters that she's taken $ millions from Islamic nations that do things to women that make Silence of the Lambs seem timid. What I crack up about is how the left tries to dodge this reality with the lame excuse that Bill's not the one on the ballot, she is. Yes, she's also the one who chose to ignore marital humiliation with Bill's mistresses, nothing Eleanor Roosevelt, Jackie Kennedy or Lady Bird Johnson didn't do. But Hillary did far worse, she attacked those women and the ones who were not willing and who were sexually assaulted, with fury and even had part of her staff form the Bimbo Eruptions Unit to discredit, intimidate, threaten and destroy any women who spoke out. This is the most cheated on woman in America, who has tolerated all of the above mentioned for one thing only-the lust for power. Let's not forget that these distractions also let the media ignore the one thing Hillary cannot run on, her disastrous record.
 Of course, we can expect the Dems and their lapdogs to go after any GOP candidate, it's politics as usual. But to see the reprehensible, spineless GOP Establishment do it is disgusting and ample proof they are little or no different than the Dems and would rather see Hillary in the WH than see their gravy train derailed. Never forget that govt. grows and our freedoms diminish, no matter which party is in power. I've never seen this ugly truth succinctly expressed with more honesty than by the vile Senator (played by Ned Beatty) in the film "Shooter", an excellent movie that shows the truly evil side of our govt. Pay close attention to the part from :17 to :23 seconds. If you haven't seen this film, I highly recommend it!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZINu-IC7eVw
 So, we have a full on war by the forces that oppose Trump, aided by his own pig headed obstinance and talent for misspeaking. This election could well be decided by women and those women need to decide what's worse, a guy who's said vulgar, sexist things most of their men have at one time or another, or a vindictive harpy who will unleash hell on most of our freedoms and collapse our economy worse than it already is? Let's not forget, this harpy was also willing to allow her spouse to repeatedly do to women what none of you ladies would ever permit your spouses to do and get away with. I've never seen our nation more divided or at worse risk.
 Let's close with a dental issue. In one week, the ADA's HOD meets and we have a chance to make history by electing a Floridian to the ADA presidency. We've already gotten an ADA Vice President elected, which has happened before, but never has a Floridian won the big prize. That's due in great part to the resentment the ADA delegates across the nation have for FL and the fact we are an autonomous state they'd love to move to and practice in with little or no resistance, as if all states were created equally when it comes to dental desirability. It won't be easy, but I hope we pull off the hat trick.

"Bobble Head Candidates & Oppression"

Hello to all, it's been a while, I know. Let's start with the topic du jour, oppression. It seems that a few professional athletes have decided to suddenly notice how America oppresses blacks and people of color. Never mind the fact useful idiots like Colin Kaepernik  played in the NFL for years and never had the presence of mind to notice this terrible abuse, let alone protest it. Never mind the fact we have a black POTUS and a cabinet to match. Never mind the fact the NFL & NBA are majority black athletes and blacks in this country succeed at rates unseen in any other nation. This is all about the NFL's gang, thug mentality and their increasing allegiance to BLM. Given the pathetic season opener our hapless Dolphins gave us yesterday, I think the NFL players might wanna concentrate less on protest and more on hanging onto the damn ball or scoring some points! It's ironic that useful idiot, Kenny Stills (WR), was one of the protesters and later dropped an easy TD pass laid perfectly in the right place by Miami's mediocre QB, who rarely displays the ability to throw a deep or touch pass with precision, LOL. Late in the game Stills was again open for what would have resulted in a game winning TD or FG, had he been tackled short of the goal line. But Tannehill, true to his usual form, over threw Still by 2 yards. These players are not P.R. experts, but they do hire smart, overpaid agents to be their mouth piece and brain. You'd think these agents might earn their pay and tell these morons the #1 rule of business, you don't poop where you eat.
 Our 1st amendment does give these players the right to protest, it also gives us the right to respond. I, for one, have better things to do than watch a crappy team with zero sense of what really matters.
 If they truly believe their people are oppressed, why aren't they in the black communities helping out? The first thing any professional athlete does upon signing their contract is to GTHO of the hood and no one blames them. So, please, spare us the pseudo indignation and social awareness. I wonder if these fools have any idea of what real oppression is? Do they know what goes on in places like N. Korea, the Middle East, Cuba, most of Africa? I doubt it. BTW, for any of you who know me and my deep involvement with politics, wonder if I practice what I preach, YES. There are no campaign signs, buttons or similar materials on my office, building or vehicle. I don't want to put off any pts. who may have different views. As for any bumper stickers, liberals don't respect freedom of speech and will vandalize cars with Trump, Rubio or any other Republican stickers.
 Now let's look at bobble heads, that's what HRC looked like at a recent campaign stop. This looks to me like a Parkinson's episode, see for yourselves:
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=hillary+has+seizure+on+camera
What it reminds me off was when Michael J. Fox intentionally skipped his Parkinson meds when he testified before Congress, so they could see what it looked like unabated.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECkPVTZlfP8
 Some might say, okay, so Hillary has Parkinson's, so what? My reply would be to remind people of the major stink the Dems made about McCain and his illnesses in 2008. If it mattered then, it sure as hell matters now. HRC is already unfit to be POTUS for reasons like her abysmal record as Sec. of State, flagrant dishonesty and corrupt dealings through the Clinton  Foundation, her instrument for selling influence and access to foreign nationals with anti-American interests and intentions. Her utter hypocrisy as a so called "feminist" is also disgusting, given the fact she's tolerated decades of marital humiliation, all for power, and has taken $ millions from nations that systematically subject women to violence, genital mutilation, "honor" killings, slavery, denial of basic rights like studying, driving a vehicle or having their own bank account, and even death by stoning for such heinous crimes as being raped but not having 4 male witnesses to corroborate it. Let's face it, if her last name weren't Clinton, HRC would be a relatively unknown, mediocre lawyer, who was booted from the Watergate attack team for blatant dishonesty.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/925684/posts
 Yesterday was the 15th anniversary of 9-11 and things are no better now than then. Domestically, we've had numerous attacks, some that failed while others did not, by Islamic terrorists who either came here as "refugees" or were born here and radicalized by local influences or even trips abroad to terrorist nations, while our impotent security agencies watched and played pocket pool. The Middle Easy has never been more unstable or dangerous. Europe is on fire and shows no sign of being any safer anytime soon. Americans are certainly in more danger from a domestic terror attack than ever before. I place most of the blame on the Obama-Clinton foreign policy and willingness to accept the pitiful concept of "acceptable losses". If one of these domestic attacks killed the family of a lawmaker or other high ranking govt. official, I'm sure the response would be different. But they have 24/7 armed security and don't really care if any of us are in SF (Kate Steinle) or the Pulse night club in Orlando. The same applies to when Obama tries to ram tyrannical policies down our throats like holding decent communities hostage to having to accommodate low class rabble into their community in order to build a suburban development. I mean, OMG, where will all those newly rich jocks flee to?http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/05/09/one-obamas-last-acts-will-punish-suburbs-white-wealthy/
As always, this rabble will never get anywhere near the Obamas, Pelosis, Reids, Clintons, etc. only our communities that we worked and sacrificed to live in and enjoy a decent quality of life. Besides, if LBJ, all his successors and the Food Stamps Pres. have fixed all the social ills of our society's down trodden, why do they need to leave their communities? Could it be, dare I suggest that this is an admission of the sad reality that no amount of handouts or other social engineering can fix degraded humans and their contra survival choices? Remember, the black family somehow managed to survive slavery, the KKK and Jim Crow, only to be done in by "helpful" govt. programs. For any of you who might think my observation racially insensitive, let me tell you from whom I took that historical fact, Dr. Thomas Sowell, a black professor. See quote #4.
http://www.aei.org/publication/quotations-of-the-day-from-thomas-sowell-2/
 Let's end with dentistry. We have a great opportunity to take out one of dentistry's sworn enemies, Sen. Miguel Diaz de la Portilla, this Nov. His opponent, Jose Javier Rodriguez, has served 2 terms in the FL House and has been a steadfast friend of dentistry from the get go. JJ sponsored the bill to require foreign dental grads to complete 2 years in a U.S. general dental program before they can sit for the ADEX in FL. He also sponsored a bill for recognition of Periodontal Awareness Month. For those of you who may not be aware of the years long adversarial relationship with the DLP family, let me explain. Back in 2011, former (1-term) Rep. Renier DLP became (and still is) the lobbyist for 50+ Cuban dental grads who work under public health permit in CA. they decided to seek legislation to allow them to come to FL and sit for the ADEX without any US training. We beat that back like a drum and it was Renier's brother,  Miguel DLP who pushed the most for a Sen. committee hearing, in which we prevailed, thanks to the efforts of Cesar Sabates and Sen. Alan Hays. JJ defeated career politician, Alex DLP, who'd served in both House & Sen. but decided to recycle himself, anyway, hence my career politician label. Jose Javier's stellar record with dental issues is proof positive that when we go to Tallahassee, we're neither Democrats or Republicans. we're the Tooth Party-he's a Democrat but helped us blunt bad dental bills proposed by Republicans. JJR will be joining us tomorrow night at Happy Wines in the Grove for the first meeting of MDDS, come out and meet him!
 One last dental item. We often hear that if we have issues affecting our practice, we should let our elected dental representatives know so they can help us. My friend and colleague, Dr. Richard Sherman did just that about 3 issues and has received no clear answer or solution to any of them, which he first brought up 3 years ago! The issues are: 1) Delta Dental unilaterally changing and ADA code to their benefit and to deny coverage for a procedure. 2) Refusing to pay for a tooth that was filled on the occlusal surface 3 years ago and later on the buccal surface, note the 2 different surfaces. This was followed up by prohibiting the doctor from charging the pt. for the work DD didn't cover! 3) Refusing to cover an indirect pulp cap with the excuse that it was an "inappropriate" procedure. If our ADA & FDA leadership want us to contact them, then do nothing but lip service, "we're working on it" or "we'll look into it" is it any wonder we're losing members by the bunch?
