Others have used superglue to stick crowns back on, rather than stumping up for private treatment, said the study. One person spoke of carrying out 14 separate extractions on himself with pliers.

Hillary's plan may be medical not dental, but the results will still be terrible. My parents live in a country with socialized medicine, they still have insurance through my fathers pension; they schedule any real medical procedures (obviously not an emergency) for when they visit the States.
The Federal government has NO business whatsoever getting involved in the medical insurance business.

Is fear the best tactic that the far right has to offer. Guess what, the only fear we have is the fear of people like you running our country.
