Maybe if you are a dentist. Having not the best teeth myself, people sometimes think I don't clean my teeth.
I think tooth health is actually similar to other parts of human health. If you maintain a healthy lifestyle from childhood on, do all recommended inspections, then everything is likely to be good. However most people don't know better or just don't do better.
Politicians would do good in truly reforming a health system. I'm only aware of one example where efficiency got a 10x improvement, which is the Chinese one in the 50s. It's cool to complain about [insert politician] about cutting health cost but add the end of the day it's not how to solve the problem. Too sad Trump is intellectually too limited to make real cost savings.
- blablabla123 9y agoNot sure why that's downvoted but I see that health care is a highly complex topic. On the one hand everybody knows (at least I hope so) that all the care systems are going to be more and more expensive every year. On the other hand people still want to maintain highly unhealthy lifestyles because those are more fun. But I think nobody is ready for a paradigm shift yet, that would allow for cheaper health, higher coverage and better health.
