The fact that dental is just now being covered under our "universal" healthcare is mind boggling. How are the teeth separate from the rest of the body?

Never mind "being covered". We have taken the tiniest of baby steps towards coverage. Seniors with no current dental insurance only. Then it will get rolled out based on income, and for many, will still require copay. Any existing dental insurance keeps you out of the program, despite many people having terrible dental benefits.
