Thursday, January 10, 2008 SHOCKA: Dental Care in Socialized Europe Pricey... BIGGER SHOCKA: They have DENTAL care in Europe! Posted by: Kevin McCullough at 6:28 AM Since Health Care will continue to be one of the issues continually focused on in the 2008 elections, it does make sense to know the truth about the different approaches to providing it - given the reality of what the total cost to the person using it/seeking it will incur. Dental Care IS still considered health care isn't it? Not long before he left Tony Blair had promised access to every British citizen for a National Health Services dentist. Yet despite his good intentions the cost on average for a simple filling is now $319 in U.S. Currency. It's gotten so bad that the Brits and other Euros are willing to jump on a plane to Poland ($32) or Hungary ($16) to get the dental work done. Because even when the cost of hotel and airfare is figured in, they come out ahead. Couple this reality with the fact that all three Hillary/Obama/Edwards would like to create the equivalent in out nation of having doctor's waiting rooms become like the Department of Motor Vehicles and the criticisms, we realize, are quite justified. Competition, limits on litigation, and freedom of choice - all will assist the consumer far more greatly than control, centralization, and limits on choice... kevinmccullough.townhall.com
