Democrats offer pro-corporate health care “compromise”

One rarely mentioned problem with the present mess of a health care system is that medical doctors , specialists, and dentists feel " free " ( thank God for " freedom " ! ) to turn away - right in the office- Medicare and Medicaid patients needing immediate care.

 A neighbor on Medicaid had a number of teeth extracted. He was taking a blood stained pillow into the dumpster. His dentist told him to try to find an oral surgeon as he had a " hole in his gums " - which led to liquids pouring out of his nose. 
 
Our " liberal " governor in Rhode Island , Gina Raimondo ", has been getting praise for her Medicaid cutbacks- " better care for less " !

My neighbor explained that the state was getting negligent on Medicaid payments. Did I know any oral surgeons that take Medicaid ?

My only thought : this poor man should go a hospital emergency center.

We are long way from health care as a basic human right .

And why should not ANY health care plan include dental care ?
