I know an old man who didn’t go to the dentist most of his life. He went down to Mexico once and had some work done after he retired. Since then, Medicare has installed seven stents into his arteries. He's had spinal surgery for arthritis. He's half blind and deaf. He also came down with prostate cancer. He survived that surgery and drug therapy and now has Parkinsons. He’s a government-money extracting machine for doctors… as long as they don’t look in his mouth. Which is obviously problematic from across a room.
For the record, he votes to take away everyone elses health
insurance.
