Hi! I'm your government mandated dental surgeon. But first I need to ask about your contribution to the Obama re-election. Is it safe?

This week's FRONTLINE: Dollars and Dentists. A "crisis" I'm dental care in the U. S. Expert saying it's a crisis and we need to "organize a new system of care."
Same tactics to build up to Obamacare: Show average (mostly white) citizens who can't afford dentists. Kids suffering. A crisis! Demand government takeover.
What industry will be next? Car repairs?
The feds already hand out grants for poor people to get auto repairs. Expect that to be on the list.
At my last dental check up my dentist didn't seem too concerned about ObammyCare....I doubt his eyes have opened since then.

Is this for real? Because my dentist said the new law wouldn’t affect him.
We had a Czech au pair about 14 years ago that exemplifies free medicine/dentistry.
She had a state dentist clear her with a clean bill of health before she came over, but her teeth kept hurting. We took her to our dentist and she had 16 cavities.
She cried at the thought of having them fixed, later we found out why. In the Czech Republic, she had never been given anything to numb the pain.
She was outright shocked that our 60-70 year old parents had their teeth.

Terrific, finally we will get dental care equal to the Brits.
The new law will probably not affect most dentists. Dentists have a monopoly. And 80% of dentists refuse to treat Medicaid patients. And most of those dentists that do treat Medicaid patients only take a handful.
Dentists receive government hand-outs too in the form of tuition and grants to their schools and more. Yes, more people will be on Medicaid but that does’t mean dentists will treat them
That means all of us will continue to pay for the extreme dental disease seen in hospital emergency rooms costing tax payers $10,000 which a simple $80 filling might have prevented.
My brother is a dentist and big supporter of Obama. I am interested in seeing if this changes.
He is the only dentist in his town who sees Medicaid patients.
Socialist doctors and dentists think that they will finally get paid the big bucks with no effort. What they’ll actually get is a quota system of limited treatment.
I think dental care could be greatly reduced if we just followed the lead of these guys in India:

Dental coverage is long past due for an overhaul.
Yeah, I’m tired of paying hundreds of dollars for new eyeglasses!
You mean that wasn’t included in the thicker-than-a-phone-book Øbamacare bill?
Who’d have thunk it?
