Jackk: No one disagrees that Dental insurance SHOULD be included but it is a perennial casualty of constantly changing and politically driven priorities for the Administration and congress. There are numerous studies showing that from a cost-benefit perspective, providing free or low cost access to prophylactic dental care from a young age would save 3x to 5x as much in long-term costs for both restorative dental work and multiple medical issues derived from dental problems. Sadly, logic seldom prevails in our increasingly toxic political process.
