There was a man at Putnam investments who tracked the cyclical movements of, what I call, prosperity and contraction... the contraction portion stems from a mindset that we, as a country, don't deserve what we have. Bull is right Mac. Liberalism is a mental illnes. It is time to change this mentality. Yes, liberals are overwhelmed with neurotic guilt…We need to stop this hideous cycle now…

While universal health care does exist in Canada dentistry is not a covered service and it is up to the parent(s) to either obtain private insurance (if they so desire) or access a medicaid-like program for those who cannot afford treatment. I myself accept the medicaid covered patients but I certainly do not blame dentists who do not for all the reasons listed in the article. Regardless, even with a multitude of government programs available too many parents (like the one mentioned in the article) wait until their child is in pain or worse before they seek appropriate treatment and by then it is too late. There is no doubt in my mind that these parents knew their child had untreated dental decay but couldn't be bothered to seek treatment in a timely fashion. This seems to be a straight forward case of dental neglect and it should be considered as the equivalent of child abuse.
