Thank you for joining us. Im mike hydeck. Monday is the deadline for americans to buy Health Insurance under the Affordable Health care act if they want coverage by january 1. But the white house is making a last minute change that would spare some people from being fined if they dont sign up. It would also offer a new option. Ko im is at the white house. Reporter millions are recently dropped because their plans didnt meet the new standards under the Affordable Health care act. Earlier this week, this woman told cbs news her family was considering going without coverage. We would like catastrophic insurance. Thats what we would take but they dont give you us that option. Reporter now the white house is providing that option. In a lastminute change people who lost their insurance may be able to sign up for cheaper catastrophic coverage plan. The bare bones policy comes with lower premiums but also higher deductibles and limited benefits and many of these people will also have more time to pick a plan. Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius says they will not face a tax penalty if they dont buy a new policy. But the Health Care Insurance industry is not happy with the policy shift. An Advocacy Group representing insurers says this latest rule change could cause significant instability in the marketplace and lead to further confusion and disruption for consumers. The white house believes the change will impact about half a million people, but the Insurance Industry fears it could be many more. Ko im for cbs news, the white house.

Where would you like to start . We can start with the naughty drinks that everyone likes. Not that you cant have them but a lot of them have over 30 grams of sugar. Baileys is a big one. Hot apple sider. Egg apple cider, egg nog, pepper mint latte. What kind of damage can a drink or two do to your teeth . Does it start to decay quicker . Theres a couple of different things. Coffee drinks will stain your teeth so theyll cause staining but the sugary drinks your teeth are going to look kind of brown or red wine, things like that you can drink hot tea, herbal tea, fun sugar free drinks they make. White wine and champagne all have less than five grams of sugar so theyre better for you. If you want to have an adult drink, does this vodka have less sugar . It does have less sugar in it. That would be better and it definitely is better now. You can have the adult drinks if you pick the nicer ones its always better. Why is there water here . The reason i have water there is if youre going to have these drinks afterwards, if you rinse with water, you stop the sugar. Chew gum. Drink it out of a straw, that also helps and blush and floss. If you go to a party with a brush and toothpaste, people will look at you like youre a dork but your teeth will be great n. Is good advice. As far as the tea, you hear tea can stain your teeth more than coffee. They can. Choose herbal teas, white teas things like that will be better for your teeth. Use steve ya to stevia to sweeten it. I like splenda. I love tea. Very it every night. Drink water afterwards. Drink it through a straw. I have some patients who drink through a straw and all the stains are behind their teeth.
