To the editor:

I received a notice from the government, mailed to me stating I now have dental coverage through the new policy they put into effect.

I have called many dentists but none are responding or accepting patients for this program!

So, what is a person in need of dental care to do? This is very discouraging, and disgusting that a dentist is unwilling to help another human being even when the government pays for it. Selfish you bet, hard to accept better believe it.

As usual, the almighty dollar speaks and some should be ashamed of themselves.
