People pulling their own teeth, gluing their own crowns back on.
This is a perfect example of what Hillary care will lead to.

I see most of these people totally missed the ultimate point.
If most dentists are going to private care rather than taking patients from the social system. Hence causing less available dentists to the social system, just like with doctors, that is a serious problem.
And those that say you are free to buy your own private insurance? Who can afford that after paying the high taxes to support the social system?

I may lose my job. However, I have developed many different skills and trades, so no matter what, I can and will find work. I guess with your attitude like most libs. You lose your job that required the one skill you have and you give up huh?

If people are doing this now, and we don't have Hillarycare, or any other form of insurance for working people, how is this related to her proposals to subsidize insurance for working people"
The problem in England seems to be with a lack of dentists in addition to their system. If there were to be an influx of twenty thousand dentists from India, they would be in good shape.
Few people have dental insurance here, and many people wait until they need their teeth pulled because of the money, our dentists also take credit cards. Leading to large debt.
For the record, if you go to any drug store here, you will also find over the counter remedies for tooth pain, and broken denture fixers and in some places glue and temporary fillers for cavities. What do you think we do with that stuff?

UTTER GARBAGE!!
*Sigh*
Listen to the truth, from a British person who knows:
There are ***free*** emergency dental clinics in every town and city of the UK that anyone in pain can go to and have the tooth extracted or filled, crowns replaced or any other emergency work that needs doing so there really is no excuse for doing that! I think thats an utter lie and these people are whackjobs
If you read the article properly you would see that it said these people (who are in a vast minority) did these things "rather than pay out for private treatment" - ie just the same as in America - they didn't have the money for **private** treatment or didn't have dental insurance. Its the same in the USA isn't it without socialised medicine? A completely non-socialised system means MORE people will be doing these things!
For the record, I don't know anyone who "Pulls their own teeth". Thats utter crap!!!
The dental system here is a bit different to general NHS medical treatment which is all free at point of contact. Dental treatment is only free for those who are unemployed or on (Welfare) benefits and others have to pay, but they can still pay reduced rates at an NHS dentist. Its a lot cheaper than it would be to go to a non NHS subsided dentist. Yes it can be hard to find an NHS dentist who accepts new patients but I've always managed it - it just takes a little ringing around. Or you can always go to a private dentist, just like in America. I know noone who goes without dental care and I live in a poor area!!! Emergency treatment is free at any time its needed.
If someone did pull their own teeth its because they obviously didn't bother getting dental insurance or keeping up their regular NHS appointments. Noone needs to do that, they can go to the out of hours emergency clinic any time they want.
The rest of our medical care - hospital care, doctors appointments etc are free. Noone goes bankrupt because they have cancer.
We have private medicine also and you are free to take out insurance for anything you want.
Whats better? A system where a child dies of a tooth abcess because her parents can't afford private dental fees? Oh yes thats what you currently have in the USA isn't it?! All children in the UK get free dental care and free medical care, prescriptions etc. Why is your 100% private system any better? How many people in the USA pull their own teeth because they can't afford private dental fees and have no dental insurance? I imagine its many many more than in the UK.

Your suitable. the only thank you to pay for obama's well being care plan is by using taxes. the worry-free of well being care additionally will cut back. digital documents do no longer keep plenty and in fact those documents are no longer unfastened-the courses that well being care makes use of to maintain digital documents, mutually with IBEX, fee the hospitals to apply. Paper documents additionally are used with the digital documents. If time-honored well being care became right into a achievable determination, it would already be in place.upload the tax for well being care, the international poverty act tax, capital helpful properties tax, social protection tax and all the different taxes and courses he plans and we are able to be paying approximately fifty 4 % taxes. His plans are no longer potential. His promise of giving all human beings $a million.000 to off set potential expenses on my own, will under no circumstances take place. His taxing of the oil companies will in basic terms bring about larger potential expenses, larger food, larger each thing. He truly is working in the direction of fairy tale politics. He desires to win and would not care what he has to declare or promise to do it.

Girl, did you ever think that this might be a british thing instead of a sociable healthcare thing? I mean, we here in the USA know how to take care of our teeth. My friend Joe, back in Vegas got grills, and he took real good care of them, and I don't think he would have pulled them out, because he's an American, and alos because he isn't really that strong, but still.

Perfect question coming from a selfish human being. "Well, I have health and dental insurance, so why the hell should I care about the majority who doesn't?"
I hope you lose your job and get a really bad cavity that you can't pay to have fixed.
