    It's the one flaw I wish Obamacare had fixed. Add two preventative care cleanings plus x-rays for everyone. I can't even imagine the money that would save our nation.

    Maybe it did. I just don't recall.

      Obamacare required Dental Care, yes. Trump Care, NO.

          Poor people grew up not going to the dentist. It just isn't something they are going to start doing... not even on their radar.
          I know of elementary schools that include a dental clinic, I assume to try to break the habit neglecting dental health

                That makes no sense. The dental separation comes from a time when dental work was life saving, and plastic surgeons are still considered doctors.

                It looks like the doctor / dentist split was driven by internal politics and profit seeking, not substantive medical issues.

                    That one guy is the difference. Rand Paul, Collins and Heller being firm "nos" all but destroyed Mitch's plan.

                      The GOP doesn't have any excuses to push through without debates, now.

                      This may be Mitch hoping support collapses. So much easier to run against this boogeyman forever than actually govern.

                        Dentists are still considered doctors too, but the point we were discussing of was whether they should be covered under traditional health insurance, and cosmetic surgery isn't.
