A few years ago my wife and I were in the UK. We went to a party and I was chatting with one of the guests. He had spent the day visiting the dentist. He said he drove 70 miles to find a dentist who would see him for his issue and honor the government health insurance. From the looks of his teeth, he needed to do this another 50 times. It’s no joke about the state of dental health in the UK. He also told me that most dentists will take zero patients under the national health insurance. They survive on cash business. The way things used to be in this country before dental insurance.
This is a precursor for both ObamaCare and dental insurance here in the US. Many expect large companies to drop dental insurance as a benefit as they grapple with ObamaCare. It’s the ideal time to do so. In the confusion of ObamaCare and with everyone scrambling to fit their health insurance to the mess Obama created everyting is up for grabs. It used to be easy to define a competitive corporate benefit package. Soon it will be impossible. HR people all over America are trying to make points with management by saying this is how much money we can save the company with ObamaCare.
This could be the end-result:

A friend of mine introduced me to the DDT. The Democrat Dental Death tax. Here’s how he says it will work. The Democrat Dental Death Tax, ( DDT ). If the Democrats win the House back and keep control of the Senate in 2014, with enough votes , Obama, still in office then they will enact what I call DDT. Here is how it will work , when you die, and before the next of kin or relatives can receive the death certificate the government/state will require the body transferred from ( the funeral home/hospital or wherever the body is located at the time of death ) to a government/state run dental office so they can extract the silver, gold and porcelain from his/hers teeth and charge the next of kin or any relative the IRS can find 10 percent of their gross income for the procedure, and a fee for the round trip to and from the dental office. This is my spoof on the tax hungry government, but I have learned/experienced, with liberals in charge my spoof is not that far-fetched.
