In three minutes(!), of course it was very shallow. It doesn't really
address the main causes of dental problems in the first place.
I have been addressing these problems for over thirty years, and some
sensationalistic rating-grubbing news show give it THREE MINUTES??
And they couldn't even get the main issue defined!
The idea that "insurance" is the key to solving dental health problems
is complete hogwash.
In this country, people decide to spend more money on their HAIR than
they do on their teeth! Do we ever hear that there is a problem with a
lack of HAIR insurance?
The media here didn't even address the issue of priorities. Why do I
see my welfare patients wearing clothes that I couldn't afford myself?
($180 shoes? Who are we kidding?)Why am I giving them something for
free when obviously they have the money to buy fancy, unnecessary
stuff?
Well, my personal answer to that particular question is, that if I
didn't provide them with the free care, then they would suffer dental
disease. But that doesn't address the real problems of untreated
dental disease on a national scale.
The main problem is that people don't bother to take care of
themselves OR their children. That's it in a nutshell. The phony straw
man of "dental insurance" is about as relevant as "hair insurance."
People need to set their own priorities. When you see a lot of dental
disease, you'll find a skewed set of personal priorities.
