A lefty Upper West Side councilwoman is demanding free dental care for illegal immigrants — and revealed she’s shelled out more than $8,000 of her own dough to keep their pearly whites intact.

“Is someone paying attention to all of their health needs!” Councilwoman Gale Brewer (D-Manhattan) roared at NYC Health Department officials during a May 23 budget hearing.

“They have a lot of health needs. Forget the dental! I’m already out $8,000-$10,000 on the dental. So who is paying attention to them?” she scolded.

A woman I knew traveled to Mexico with her college friends.
Complained to a Mexican friend as she bit into a burrito and hit a small pebble and said it could have broken her tooth.

“I just had a pebble in this thing. They should be careful.”

“Only one?”

Emergency Rooms do not provide dentistry.

She does NOT have the right to forced the rest of us to pay for dental care for illegals.

---

But as a lawmaker, she has the power to force the rest of us to pay for illegals’ dental care. California lawmakers have exercised that power and I imagine lawmakers in other jurisdictions have as well.

Welcome to the party, pal!

All dental “insurance” is absolutely horrible.

I have the best plan money can buy and I still have to shell out co-pays, deductibles and there are both annual and lifetime maximums on particular services.
