Brickbat: What a Nice Idea!

In the United Kingdom, a National Health Service survey found that 26 percent of people in Cheshire and Merseyside who tried to book a dental appointment in the last two years were unsuccessful, and 20 percent of Cheshire and Merseyside residents who did get to see a dentist rated the experience fairly or very poor, numbers which are typical of England as a whole. The British Dental Association said that millions of people no longer even try to book appointments because they know they can't get one, adding that getting to see an NHS dentist "is just a nice idea rather than a reality they can depend on."

The important thing is they have access to care.

So? Birth control was available to Irishwomen before the constitutional election. All they had to do was fly, ferry or swim 168 miles to Liverpool.

Weird.

But, it is free!!!

Only if you're a drugged out worthless P.O.S.
Otherwise it's 20% of your total income.
Talk about a plan-of-destruction.
Subsidize the worthless and charge the worth-full.
Why would anyone not want to be a drugged out worthless P.O.S.?

British Dental Association? Now I've heard everything.

Well judging from King Charles' grill, he can't get an appointment either.

Coming soon to a democrat stronghold near you.

The British NHS is the largest employer in Europe. And still can't provide even basic services.

Socialized medicine apparently works as well as socialized anything.

US style socialized education.

[Don't look at me!]

You get what you pay for.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

Nobody needs 23 teeth.

Keeping Britain British.

[Brandybuck]

The snaggletoothed Brit trope fuels itself.

This is the "universal healthcare" that Obama and his disciples want us to emulate.

Jinkies! Let's split up and search for clues.

[TJJ2000]

Now compare the US Emergency Dental Bill to a Nazi-Medical Emergency bill.....

?Affordable? - BS! These illegal [Na]tional So[zi]alist take overs is exactly what is killing the USA and every citizen that's part of it. This just demonstrates exactly how bad it can get.

Come on, all you really need is a piece of string tied from that loose tooth to a door knob and SLAM, you're done.
