Do you think Republicans care? Show me one dentist in the United States who is a registered and voting Democrat! All children should be covered for their teeth, like Indian Health. Us old codgers, too!

I happened to be in an expensive dentist's office in 2001, when Bush was crowned, while the dentist "Praised the Lord."

"We just cannot afford to have another Democrat in The White House!"

He sounded more scared than excited. Have we seen any attempt by the Bush administration to address "DENTAL CARE?" No! Just as we find out Bush's drug program is worth industry gold for those who are in the pharmaceutical industry. Hmm? You wonder! What are the feds doing about dental care for adults.

People who are rich, don't need to carry health insurance policies. I suppose the more cash the layout for their dentists, the more free miles on American Airlines they get! So, ... how does Medicaid cover dental problems?

"States may elect to provide dental services to their adult Medicaid-eligible population or elect not to provide dental services at all as part of its Medicaid program. While most states provide at least emergency dental services for adults, less than half of the states provide comprehensive dental care. There are no minimum requirements for adult dental coverage."

This means that dental coverage for older adults on Medi-programs is more scarce than hen's teeth.
