Home dentistry? No thanks!

Reason No. 837 to be against national health insurance:

That would be the headline on page 6A of Wednesday’s Enterprise:

“Shortage has Britons pulling their own teeth.”

That’s right, folks. Britain’s National Health Insurance Service is so inept that some Brits can’t find any dentists who participate in it. And if they can’t afford dentists in private practice, they do things like pull out their own teeth … or use super glue to hold down loose crowns!

Yikes!

Look, the health care system we have here in the states is not perfect. In fact, it’s far from that. It needs serious reforms — quickly.

But I do not want to rely on the government for health care. It will be worse!

I do not want to trust my life/health to the same bureaucrats who handle subsidies for mohair, tried to make us drive 55 mph and created a tax code that no one, not even the so-called experts, can decipher.

… By the way, this is the second blog in a row on the somewhat obscure topic of dentistry.

Coincidence … or conspiracy?

Well, Thomas, you have told us that you recognize that there are flaws in our health care system. And you have told us why you are opposed to a national healthcare system like England's. Would you care to share with us then how you believe we can resolve the problems in our current system?
