When we talk about the healthcare crisis in America we've got to also be talking about the dental crisis and how to address it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I happen to believe that health care is an imminent crisis. It is.
Millions of Americans, adults and children, lack access to dental care.
Crises are part of life. Everybody has to face them, and it doesn't make any difference what the crisis is.
Just because I am paying attention to politics and culture doesn't mean that I should be talking about the health-care bill, talking about the minutiae.
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.
In other words we have marketed our way into this health crisis.
As grateful as we are for all the work the community health centers do, it is also important that we recognize that they cannot solve the health care crisis facing our Nation by themselves.
Let's be honest, dental care in America is extremely expensive, period.
Unfortunately, the experience on HealthCare.gov has been highly frustrating for many Americans. These problems are unacceptable.
I know the exploding cost of health care is at the root of our long-term fiscal challenges.
