[Vision2020] American Teeth Getting Worse

Last spring my dental hygienist told me that some rural Idahoans in  
our area refuse to accept charity to get their children's teeth  
fixed. I wouldn't be surprised if they are also too proud to accept  
government money for their children's health insurance. This sounds  
like the ancient practice of child sacrifice to Yahweh and other  
tribal gods.

Greetings:

Yet another sign of our failed health care system.

I just got back from two countries that have dentists in every  
school.  Critics of socialized medicine spread anecdotes about long  
waiting lines, but surveys show that is not the case.  Poor American  
kids sometimes wait 6 months for dental surgery and two of them have  
died waiting for help.
