Bogus ‘dentists’ prey on immigrants: Denticare Needed = Obama Inspired Public Option

Bogus ‘dentists’ prey on immigrants - Front Page Story. My solution, from a while ago - Denticare - Good Politics & Policy, & Obama = Opportunity:
Now is the time to make this vote-winner a reality, by leveraging Canadian pro-Obama sentiments and Canadians' awareness & approval of the Democrats' desired "public health care option" to propose a similar "public dental care option", to cover the 40% of Canadians without dental insurance, and help the even greater number who struggle with the costs of profiteering insurance companies and "gourmand" dentists. (...) A public dental insurance option, modelled on the Obama plan, free for the poor, working- & lower-middle classes, subsidised on a sliding scale for all others, would save Canada a lot of money, reducing extreme costs of hospital emergency demands, and forcing dentists & insurers to be less "gourmand", and more efficient. It would also make Canadians healthier, happier and more productive.
PS. Denticare & Federalism
PPS. Initial Denticare Rates
Bonus: Canadian Political Economy & Health Care In Context (one of many, but I mention Denticare in passing)
