Why didn't the compassionate democrats in the U.S. include dental insurance in the health reform?

[Anonymous]

I'm not going to lie, I opposed the so called health care reform in the United States. One thing that really makes me mad about the so called compassionate left is they didn't include dental care as part of health care reform.

I have a wisdom tooth that is rotten all the way up to my jaw. I have no money to fix it although I probably could have if I would have planned better. Anyway I refuse to mooch off my family for money and I will probably die sometime this year when my tooth infection hits my brain (I'm not kidding) so obviously healthy teeth are important to overall health.

I'm just wondering why the compassionate left never bothered to include dental care as part of health care reform? How can you be healthy without healthy teeth?

well its OK to ask for help I mean I know where your coming from but id rather get that tooth out of my mouth then leave it you can always pay them back ya know...but I don't know why they didn't put that in there at all...i don't like the democratic party anyway I'm fully republican and I'm staying that way...im not saying I don't like the people in the party but I just don't like their views if that makes since...

I'm a republican also. I just don't get why if they actually gave a crap about people they don't count dental as part of health insurance. I opposed the law because there was a bunch of stupid crap in there and it wouldn't do anything but force me to buy insurance I can't afford and don't need. I never have problems with anything but my teeth since I'm young so what good does forcing me to buy full coverage without dental do me? Fucking idiot politicians lol.

lol ya I see what your saying I do agree they are pretty stupid and I opposed to it too I have the same views...

Because they had a hard enough time getting the health care reform through congress as is, I doubt they could have put it through at all if they had added anything to it.

just go through the pain and pull the bastard thing out yourself

You would think it was possible but the pain would make you pass out before you could finish the pull plus it's so far back you can't pull it out yourself without busting your jaw or at least the rest of your teeth. I don't know anybody insane enough to pull it out for me.
