I recently listened with great interest to a radio report (CBS 10-16-07) concerning Great Britain's Universal (socialized) dental coverage.
It seems that, yes, the British do indeed have dental coverage under their socialized plan, and getting approval for work to be performed is quite easy and common.
However, getting a dentist to actually DO the work appears to be quite a problem.
Apparently, English dentists doing Government work are so backed up, it may take 2-3 years to get an appointment with them. Some people are actually pulling their own teeth with pliers, putting their crowns back on with Super Glue, or paying for another dentist out of their own pockets if they can afford to.
Just imagine: Hillary and Barack want us to have the same great coverage!!
Equally insured. Equally treated.
With equally rotten teeth.
Now THAT'S the socialism we all know! Um, ummmmmmmmmm! Makes you want to bite into a hard apple, doesn't it?
