I found this humorous.

Dental visits are fewer in states with higher levels of income inequality.

All one needs to know about the statistical veracity of this article is revealed in the above sentence.

I'm positive that the entire article is bogus; and that dental hygiene correlates with conservative voting (and that tattoos, piercing, and missing teeth correlate with liberal voting.)

Similarly, I suspect that reading comprehension and writing ability correlate with conservative voting.

Government check holders get free or low cost care, duh they visit more often. Also looks over substance voters would gravitate to him. I haven’t been able to visit in 5 years because the last trip totaled more than 300 dollars. Simply unaffordable. That was with insurance btw.

Those with government dental plans see the dentist more often because it costs the patient less.

Thus, most government workers vote for 0bama, what's the big deal?

Need a dentist visit frequency poll here.

Eight years since a visit for me; I did vote for Palin.

They don’t separate out those with a new filling every month (poor, not taking care of themselves, liberal) to those getting teeth bleached for vanity (tending liberal) to parents with children getting braces adjusted every week (in the middle).

But I can see how guys who hardly see a dentist because they take care of themselves would tend to be Republican.

LOL I would say it was for cosmetic reasons only and not health.

What about me? I never go to the dentist, I’m a 40-ish white conservative female, but I have never had a cavity or braces and my teeth are strong and straight and white. Guess I need to brush less and start opening cans with my jaw to fit the Deliverance profile of these idiot statisticians.

Statistics show that adults who crap their pants are far more likely to vote for Obama.

All I can say is that even though the people have dental coverage through welfare, they frequently “no show” their appointments. Often, dental offices will “double book” welfare patients, because they know most of them won’t show up. And even if the DO show up, they’re often 20+ minutes late and need to be rescheduled. Most people with JOBS that provide dental insurance are generally good about showing up for appointments. Especially if they need a late afternoon or Saturday appointment.

My family and I go every six months like clockwork. We finally paid off our son’s orthodontist bill to the tune of $5,600, all out of pocket.

And, oh yeah, we always vote Republican.

I see my dentist twice a year and voted for one democrat in my life; 39 years ago.

This is socialist “medicine research” and we may as well get used to it under Obammy’s kill care system.

Our whole medical system is about to take on the “science” with outcomes that serves communists just as the Soviet system did.

Conservatives will be murdered as enemies of Obammy’s state.
