Insurance companies make money off fluoride in drinking water. The government pays for preventative care? That's their dream. They only pay for cleanings because cavities are more expensive to treat.
If insurance companies had their way we'd have universal healthcare and mandatory private insurance that was allowed to deny claims freely.
They get $800 a month, and replace their entire claims department with a system that automatically denies claims and forwards the bill to the government. You're legally obligated to receive preventative care and live a long and productive life to maximize the number of payments you make to them.
Obviously dental, vision, skin, bones, organs and mental health are an additional $250 a month each, mandatory, and provide no coverage.
