    $5000?!! That is insane.

    In the UK, dental care isn’t free (unless you’re below 18, a student, unemployed, pregnant, have been pregnant in the past year, or there is a serious risk to your wider health), but it still caps out at £307 for the most serious dental work. Most people here are furious about it costing anything at all.

    Though getting prompt dental care has been way harder after the COVID backlog…

      And $5,000 isn’t even out of range. Kids needed a couple fillings? $1,000 with insurance. Grandma needs a root canal? $1600 with insurance and Medicare.

      It’s a huge fucking racket and the fact that it still exists decades after Obamacare is extremely frustrating
