All I know is that I had 4 wisdom teeth pulled about 3 or so months ago. Without insurance it would have cost me about 3,800 bucks. Without insurance they would still be in my mouth and I would still be popping motrin like candy to dull the pain. At least with some sort of centralized healthcare how dismal or bad it may be I would be able to get treatment. However long I had to wait or even if the service was sub par at least they would be out of my mouth. In the good ol' US they would still be in my mouth.
Wisdom teeth are very painful and very common. I wonder how many people suffer just because they can't afford to have the removed? I know there is people that suffer with a lot more but just some food for thought.
