It’s…a start.
Dental care needs to be free and universal. Need a filling? No charge. Make $370M a year and need a filling? Still no charge.
Dental care, pharmacare, and eye care (at least!) are health care, period - and have to be available to all citizens who need them. Full stop.
Any and every system that charges the consumer for basic health care is predatory and discriminatory; and needs to be destroyed. Not just dismantled, but destroyed.
Health care is a basic human right.
