Karen Bass Proposes Free Dentures for Meth Heads

You people have absolutely not one ounce of common sense.
It's just "Lets throw government money at it. Issue solved!"
And if fails literally every goddam time. :icon_rolleyes:
You see how much fraud California, Minnesota and Ohio are dealing with right now? That's only 3 of 50 states. It's in the trillions ... wasted.
FAUX NEWS
 
Dental care is recognized as crucial for managing nutritional intake and reducing systemic infection risk.
Meth use is known to create numerous health problems including heart and liver disease, dental problems and other health and sanitation problems leading to systemic infection risk and increased crime.
Costs? Savings? "penny-wise and pound-foolish" Prevention.

PREVENTION? ROTFFLMFAO! You have argued against any semblance of prevention as you mollycoddle these societal parasites instead of attacking the underlying problem. Again, your ignorance is astounding.

Wrong again.
 
Preventive dental hygiene significantly reduces healthcare costs by preventing severe infections that require emergency room (ER) visits. Routine care diverts non-traumatic dental emergencies away from costly hospitals, yielding massive savings for individuals and public health systems alike. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  • ER Cost Shifting: Patients without regular dental care often rely on ERs for temporary fixes (e.g., pain medication or antibiotics). An ER visit for a dental condition costs between ($400) to ($1,500), compared to just ($90) to ($200) at a general dental clinic. Nationwide, dental-related ER visits cost taxpayers and hospitals roughly ($2) billion annually.

  • Cost-Effectiveness: Investing in preventive dental hygiene yields an estimated savings of ($8) to ($50) in future restorative and emergency procedures for every ($1) spent.

  • Illness and Infection Prevention: Routine cleanings and scaling prevent periodontal (gum) disease, which is linked to severe systemic infections. Untreated dental abscesses can lead to life-threatening complications (like Ludwig's angina or sepsis) that require expensive hospitalizations.

  • Systemic Health Links:
  • Good oral hygiene reduces bacterial loads that contribute to chronic illnesses. Periodontal disease management has been shown to reduce overall medical expenditures and hospitalizations, particularly for patients with conditions like diabetes or cardiovascular disease. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
To explore the clinical and economic impact of oral health on the broader medical system, review the CDC Oral Disease Priorities or read the American Dental Association's Action for Dental Health for in-depth data on dental emergency referrals.

Probably 90% of these people need mental health services and are CHOOSING to be homeless drug addicts and alcoholics.

Without the meth problem--what do you base this ^^^ on? SMH, moron.

Not sure it's anywhere 90%, but.

Dante has actually been involved in Outreach.
 
Diabetes, HIV/AIDS, Cancer...
Medicaid covers all of that without Karen Bass' fraud bucket giveaway program. Maybe you would know that if your outreach experience wasn't based on your being a client.

Medicaid covers dental care for eligible individuals, including comprehensive services for children and certain necessary services for adults. Coverage may include exams, cleanings, fillings, and emergency services, depending on the individual's eligibility category and needs.
 
Spencer Pratt: "Our city leaders are incompetent"

Karen Bass: "I propose free dentures for meth heads"

It's not that Spencer Pratt is a rock star candidate. It's that the people he is running against are either incompetent or completely insane.


How about teeth for those that have worked hard all their lives and couldnt afford dental insurance and lost their teeth, or is it just for methheads?

Mayor Bass ' actual words

"There needs to be comprehensive healthcare provided to people."

The video is some Troll on social media.

Yes, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has advocated for providing taxpayer-funded dental care—specifically dentures or new teeth—to homeless individuals, including those whose teeth were destroyed by methamphetamine addiction, as part of a strategy to help them secure employment and get off the streets
 
No, it does not.

The fact that you don't research shows you're projecting----and ignorant, which explains your lack of knowledge on most everything you post.
