give me some examples where or why people suffer (materially) more in
Austria,
Italy, Switzerland, Germany, France, UK, Australia than in the USA.


Have you watched any TV in the UK? 'nuff said.

:-)


Uh, have you ever seen the condition of the average Brit's teeth?

I mean, I'm a dentist, so it would be expected I would notice, but just look at
them.

Their dental health system alone should religate them to third world status.

No fluoridation, but they saved their precious bodily fluids.

They save their pee and call it "beer"?

They saved their precious bodily fluids from fluoridation. Fluoridation is
a communist plot.

I notice the Russians have about the same caliber of dental work as the
Brits.

I used to work with a guy who has recently immigrated from the old USSR. His
dental work was like the old jokes about a redneck with one tooth. And he
was one of the higher-ups, a former (literally) rocket scientist with the
old Soviet space program.

Oh...three weeks after hitting the US his mother filed for Social Security
benefits.

Speaking as an average Brit:
* I am 31.
* I have no fillings
* I have no tooth problems (including wisdom tooth problems).

Mostly, this was caused by having good dental health as a child, and I'm
sure flouridized water helped.

While I've seen some people with terrible teeth here, I've seen just as
many people with terrible teeth in the US. There was even an article in
AOPA Magazine about a bunch of doctors who fly in the Appalacians (with
amongst other things, a DC-3) who have to pull out an awful lot of
rotten teeth.

Yep. I don't see this as a money problem, or a social problem, but more of
a cultural thing.

Dental care is easy. Brushing your teeth is easy, and cheap.

Having parents that force you to practice good oral hygiene isn't --
apparently regardless of what part of the world you live in.
