Honestly, just health care in general being locked behind insurance to the point where people conflate the two conceots entirely!
Dental insurance in most cases is closer to what health insurance should be: an entirely optional, and generally affordable, policy that can offset major expenses. Not an expense that rivals housing in magnitude and is required for most people just to access the basic care needed by nearly everyone.
Just taking this opportunity to remind Americans that you already pay a far higher portion of the public purse into your healthcare system than any nation with universal care. You get basically nothing for it while we get cradle to grave coverage for every citizen regardless of our socioeconomic status.
Then on top of these taxes you are also paying private insurers for the privilege of then paying your doctors

Or maybe we do away with the insurance all together and treat medical care as the public service it should be yeah?
