When will we see effort to address unaffordable dental care?

Dental care in America is not immune to high prices (of course you know who I blame for that, lol), but it seems like Obamacare, aside from child dental coverage, doesn't really address the issue. Do you think there hasn't been as much attention because dental health isn't as "important" to people as general health?

Do you think we'll eventually see some sort of obamacare for dental insurance? Not even democrats are mentioning it, and people don't really seem to be pushing for it.

Really? I thought I read somewhere that Obamacare doesn't really address dental.

I have done some research, and I was surprised to learn that many countries that provide universal healthcare do not publicly fund dental care at the same level.

For example, nearly all of dental funding in Canada is private, and only 45% of British folks are registered with a public dentist.

To me, this is interesting, and dental care is one of the most sought after treatments.
