Health care in the Bush: Just grin and bear it?

Link: Alaska Dispatch Dispatch correspondent Seth Kantner evaluates his own personal health care crisis: Should he spend a lot of money to travel to Kotzebue to have a lost dental filling fixed? If not, what sort of adhesive should he use to reattach the filling to his tooth? "I wasn't excited about a big hole in my mouth getting infected. Nor happy to leave my family and shell out a Permanent Fund," he writes. Don't read this if dental horror stories make you swoon.
