How ungrateful
Dental is expensive, and it can have devastating impacts on health if it isn’t taken care of or is done wrong.
It’s also very ambiguous as to what is dental and what is medical. For example, I got a severe case of TMJ disorder suddenly. Doctor wouldn’t do anything because it’s “dental” and my dental insurance didn’t cover it because it was the jaw, not the teeth, and therefore “medical.” These distinctions date back to medieval roles - they didn’t make sense then, they certainly don’t make sense now, and we built two entire industries off of the made up distinction.
And also, grateful isn’t a term that should be demanded of citizens when their government still has work to do. Good changes don’t mean that more changes aren’t needed.
I don’t disagree that dental is importsnt. But it took plenty of effort from the people who put in the hard work to get this. Those people are our friends.
So yeah, just saying “cool, now add dental” is ungrateful to their hard work and I hope they never see that comment.
It doesn’t matter that you thought you should have had vision covered in the first place. You didn’t have it before, and now you do. If you can’t contribute, at least be a cheerleader
