Pulling Own Teeth in U.K.

From the BBC comes a report of the deplorable state of dentistry in the United Kingdom. Dentistry is supposedly covered by the National Health Service or NHS. More and more dentists in the U.K. are opting out, taking cash patients only; Power Line covers the story.

For those who can't afford it, the result is rotten teeth. Before you let someone tell you our government should provide all health care and dentistry, remember what a sterling job the Veterans Administration has done. It's been a pathetic shame but all too typical of government medicine.
