Those of us who wish to pay for dental insurance, have dental insurance.
My wife and I choose not to pay for dental insurance, so we are one of the
45,000,000 counted as "uninsured" for dental coverage. Both of my
daughters-in-law are also counted as "uninsured" because they don't carry
the group policy where they work. Why would they? Both of my sons are in
the military and their wives and children get very good medical care that
I and my fellow citizens pay for.
If you look into the break down of the "45,000,000 uninsured" in America
some interesting things begin to show up. Things like 16 yo children who
have a part time job and don't get the group policy are counted as
"uninsured" even though they are carried on their parents policy.
I'll dig up those numbers and shoot them out.

It's all just scare tactics dreamed up by the left to push socialized
medicine and MORE government control of our money. Hillary's "Shared
Prosperity" slogan sounds more like socialism/communism every day.....
