Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Millions of Americans, adults and children, lack access to dental care.
Let's be honest, dental care in America is extremely expensive, period.
We spend billions on marginal and often unnecessary procedures on people who are in the final dying process, yet we leave millions of Americans out of the health insurance system, and America's kids have the worst dental health in the developed world.
