Newsvine - New York Dentists Pay Off State Legislators to Get Laws Passed

Newsvine - New York Dentists Pay Off State Legislators to Get Laws Passed:

"Organized dentistry is too powerful in the U.S. Their money, clout and influence gets laws passed that benefits dentistry but not the public. As a result tooth decay is an epidemic in the US where people are dying from untreated tooth decay and no legislator has the guts to mandate that all dentists accept Medicaid patients or allow other groups to start doing dental work."
