Read the tea leaves FReepers. This is the future of American healthcare if Hillary runs the White House.

Got a toothache? Why wait six months?

A few shots of whiskey and a pair of visegrips will do the trick!

John Stossel did a 20/20 episode on healthcare, and he talked about the delays in Canada and poor care in Cuba.

Rumor has it that it’s also tough to get a doctor in the UK to remove your gallbladder.

After several phone calls, one dentist called back and worked me into his schedule when I had a toothache several years ago. Apparently some are booked solid for months and some have no interest in a new patient. Or should I say customer? But at least I had a chance. This poor cabbie apparently didn’t.

Private Practice British dentistry is quite modern and affordable. The problem is the socialist (= democrat party) mentality that medical/dental care has to be FREE.

Morons, and there are lots of them, would rather pull their own teeth out than pay one penny.

I love the dentist in the Simpsons who gets children to cooperate by showing them the Big Book of British Smiles.

“used pliers and a technique he had learned in the army to carry out the DIY dentistry. “

Wow, the times do be a changing. When I served in the military proper teeth-plying techniques were not on the menu!
