    I would maybe not kill but certainly inflict a lot of violence to get dental coverage even if it was as shitty as the NHS.

    I live in a country that prides itself of free and equal access to healthcare but for some bullshit historical reason dental care for adults is left completely to the invisible hand of the free market. Politicians defends the status quo with either howyougunnapayforit or by modifying over paper not brushing their teeth. I haven't seen a dentist since I turned 18 and the fear of something happening that would require me to see one makes up a not insignificant part of that background dread I live with every day.

      Healthcare by and large impacts the availability of the reserve army of labor. Dental care does not impact the availability of labor to the same degree, so it's not worth it to the capitalists I guess.
