I want to get good medical insurance so lasik surgery isn’t so expensive as well as good dental because cavitys are way too easy for me to get. Any suggestions?
Currently LASIK is not fully covered by any insurance. Some will cover up to $1500. Usually with that LASIK centers will have you pay the full amount up front and will give you a receipt to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
LASIK is still considered elective surgery.
Most centers though offer financing plans (there are some that do 18 months interest free).

I am doing a project on LASIK eye surgery for NHD (National History Day) and need some help with some ideas about how LASIK has changed society for the better. One example I thought of was that it allows those who had less than amazing eye sight to not have to use wreck specs or contacts while participating in sports and such. = / need help asap. please.
Tiger Woods is has been the pitch man for TLC, one of the largest LASIK centers in the USA. I am not sure how that fits in. Would he have gotten all those women if he wore glasses?

When lasik goes bad, there is no Plan B. Your eyes are your most precious sense—you need them to drive, work, play, read…When you have lasik complications, you can only escape the trashed vision by sleeping, and that’s only if you are able to sleep after you figure out what has happened to your eyes. See lasikflap.com and lasikdisaster.com for more information.

I’ve been wondering about Lasik, but I’m really squeemish with my eyes; I can’t even put contacts in because it freaks me out so much. So here’s my question: Can you be anesthetized during Lasik?
I haven’t even decided if I want to have it done, and if I do, it won’t be done anytime soon.
I just want to know if I should keep considering it.
Any help would be appreciated!
I’ve had lasik, and I have had the same problem as you. I doubt you can be anesthetized (though there is the possibility), but I will tell you right now that it really isn’t that bad. In fact, it was very fast and really painless. When I went in, they just told me to keep looking at the red light. I decided to focus on doing exactly that no matter what, and I did, but "no matter what" didn’t happen—it was much better than I had expected. There is one moment where the red light goes fuzzy, but they have it where you can’t blink or anything and that moment of fuzziness is the only part—it’s interesting more than it is scary. By far the worst part was the anticipation of it. My vision is now even better than perfect vision, and it’s been that way ever since I had it about five years ago. And back then, I was what the doctor called "20-blind." I could see perfect close, but hardly anything a few feet in front of me. My brother, who had much better eyesight than me, also had the lasik surgery and he hasn’t regretted it, either.
One thing I would highly recommend, though, is to get a good eye doctor (don’t just do the cheap thing on the adds unless you know that doctor is very good). They’re your eyes and are worth the extra money (it would probably be cheaper than bein anesthetized anyway). I made sure I got the best eye doctor I could, and I’ve never regretted that decision. Make sure you tell the doctor your problem. I’m sure he could reassure you or let you know your options, etc.
Good luck with your decision.
