The VA's policy no dental care says not. Every thing the body
ingests is by mouth and the condition of the teeth condtions
what goes down! Bad teeth are full of bad bacteria that can
and will cause heart problems.....Is it cheaper to fix up a
mouth with a few bad teeth or repair bacteria damaged heart valves?

The VA's policy is not as you claim "no dental care"

Prevention is ALWAYS better than any cure! The implications of the fact a cure has to be found only reinforces the idea that prevention may have been a better choice if taken at the proper time. One could especially apply this axiom to world events.

The VA just doesn't want to address the problem until they have too. But it would be cheaper if they practiced prevention and not cure.

True, but the VA hospitals are just that, hospitals and not dentists. Hospitals don't usually treat dental patients unless it's ordered by dentists.
