Pregnant women, the unemployed/on benefits, children and the elderly all get free or greatly reduced dental and medical care here in the US. They have for years. The problem is our lower middle class/working poor. They don't get squat.

No, they don't. Did you miss the part where the Supreme Court struck down the provision in the Affordable Care Act that forced states to expand Medicaid? Medicaid is what covers medical and dental care for most poor or unemployed people.

And in some states, Medicaid hasn't covered dental for adults in a decade anyway. One "free dental care day!" event draws thousands of people, because an event like that occurs rarely.

People, including people with zero income, still die in the U.S because of lack of medical/dental coverage.

Huh, funny, I have MANY unemployed and disabled friends in US who have struggled for years to get any kind of dental or medical care. One of them had to answer detailed intrusive questions about her periods and how often she needed people to help her wipe her bum after using the toilet to get the disability benefits she needed.

I have a friend who's long-term unemployed, mostly due to mental health problems. He had to have all his teeth pulled and replaced with dentures, at the age of 60, because he couldn't afford proper dental care.

I am on disability in the USA, and I can get a small amount of non-specialized dental care at reduced cost. It's not enough to make up for years of no dental care before. I have terrible gum disease.

And considering how spread out the USA is, lack of access due to location can be a bigger problem here than in the UK.

And you know what people will tell you here if you talk about real socialized medicine or increased welfare spending on the state level? Supposedly it will attract "the wrong kind of people." Meanwhile my part of the state is full of people, young and old, with serious oral health problems.

Seeing this had made me a very hardline leftist by American standards.
