The right to dental care?

March 1, 2007

The so-called “right” to medical care has been debated here previously. Misguided Ezra Klein now suggests there also should be a right to dental care as well. Where does it end?

It ends when all medical professionals are shipped off to slave camps and forced to see patients 16 hours a day with only breaks to eat a thin soup. One day every three months is reserved for continuing education. All claims of malpractice result in solitary confinement without right of appeal.

“If Medicaid dentists weren’t so hard to find”

come to nyc – harlem, south bronx, washington heights, bed-stuy etc. wherever there’s plenty of medicaid cards there are:

1- dentists’ offices on every other corner

2- podiatrists galore (who d’ya think sells those “diabetic shoes” from the bs medicare program to all the fat cows with type 2 diabetes from too much arroz con pollo)

3- expensive rv’s with marketing crews hocking medicaid managed care plans that get big bucks from ny state to “take care of people” – what a crock.

believe me, at least in NY there is NO shortage of ancillary services to medicaid patients
