It has been clear to any health literate American citizen
for years now that dental health is inseparable from general physical
health -even mental health. But why was this fact not recognized during
the long debate on health care for ALL Americans? Why should even
private dental insurance be separate from Blue Cross ? It is a shame to
see so many kids with rotten teeth. Why should a 74 year old woman on
Medicare panic when her pet dog chews up her lower denture ? This
happened to my neighbor and friend, Dorene.
I commend the dental health professionals for organizing these clinics. But bad teeth and gums should not be the responsibility of mercy missions.
True , Obamacare is a long way from Teddy Kennedy's dream of health care as a basic human right.It would have been better to just extend Medicare to ALL Americans. Sell that idea to this Ayn Rand inspired Republican Congress .
