Bogus ‘dentists’ prey on immigrants: Denticare Needed = Obama Inspired Public Option

Bogus ‘dentists’ prey on immigrants - Front Page Story. My solution, from a while ago - Denticare - Good Politics & Policy, & Obama = Opportunity:
Now is the time to make this vote-winner a reality, by leveraging Canadian pro-Obama sentiments and Canadians' awareness & approval of the Democrats' desired "public health care option" to propose a similar "public dental care option", to cover the 40% of Canadians without dental insurance, and help the even greater number who struggle with the costs of profiteering insurance companies and "gourmand" dentists. (...) A public dental insurance option, modelled on the Obama plan, free for the poor, working- & lower-middle classes, subsidised on a sliding scale for all others, would save Canada a lot of money, reducing extreme costs of hospital emergency demands, and forcing dentists & insurers to be less "gourmand", and more efficient. It would also make Canadians healthier, happier and more productive.
PS. Denticare & Federalism
PPS. Initial Denticare Rates
Bonus: Canadian Political Economy & Health Care In Context (one of many, but I mention Denticare in passing)

    Morally and economically a publicly funded dental care program is the way to go.

    Just please don't attach Obama's name to anything progressive, compassionate or economically sound. He's too busy kissing corporate ass and defending corporate Democrats to care.
