Can you please explain how you're opposed to universal health care but 100% behind universal dental care? These seem at odds.

Not GP but dental care is a lot cheaper than medical

[nightfly]

Maybe on average, but dental care can suck when you need a lot done. Root canals, crowns, and implants are expensive. And dentists often expect payment in full up-front before doing any work.

Australia has free medical but not dental care since its expensive.

[Simulacra]

I don't want to pay for your decades of poor health, because your poor decisions will lead to a lifetime of expensive care. However, dental care is a finite expense. Replace all the teeth in your mouth and it's still a finite expense. Since when has "health care" ever had a finite expense?
