my favorite part about health insurance is how your teeth and eyeballs are add-ons

6. And they are cheap to add on

I know people think of them as expensive, but compared to stuff covered under regular health care like heart surgery, cancer treatments , etc, tooth care risk is tiny for the insurers.

Dems have been trying really hard for a long time to get dental and vision added to Medicare and Medicaid. Help them keep Congress in November and I believe we'll see at least dental get added to them both.

And dental is fundamental to good health, bad or neglected teeth are predictors of all sorts of more costly later health problems.

The totally unnecessary suffering by people with problems with their teeth is just awful. I know people who go years with rotting teeth that need to be pulled.
