TERROR for kids at Small Smile Dental Clinics (20/20 version)

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SHOCKING PLACES YOU SHOULD NOT GO TO. Small Smiles are dental clinics that are for low income people. Kids here are crying to death , having dangerous heart rates, and even VOMITING (THAT'S RIGHT) after being forced to do unnecessary ways of everything. DON'T EVEN GO NEAR IT... PLEASE TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THIS... COMMENT ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK OR YOUR STORY. ITS SO SAD TO SEE KIDS AS YOUNG AS FOUR (THE KID WHO CRIED LIKE CRAZY IN THE BEGINNING WAS 4) GETTING THEIR TEETH REMOVED IN REPLACE FOR ROOT CANALS

any parnets should report abuse to any authority they should be fine 100 to 250millon dollars.

When You get People like VicenteMosin who want to socialize everything, you loose your freedom. He believes the government is supposed to tell everyone how to live, where to spend money, and how much money they are supposed to make.

these are the opinions of someone who doesn't know the difference between a catholic elementary school and a University. and Represents Medicaid as a company instead of a Govt. Agency.

A Government cannot give to one, without first taking from another.

[VicenteMosin]

@fracid1292 The company had to pay millions of dollars in a settlement with the US government

[VicenteMosin]

It could also mean decreasing payments for pulpotomies and stainless steel crowns, so people can't make money off them

Again, for profit venture capitalist dentistry is the reason why these abuses happen

[VicenteMosin]

@waterkeeper03 And if you don't believe me that US private schools are nonprofit, look up your local private school and see if there's a big fat "501(c)(3)" attached. Now look at Small Smiles. Do you find a "501(c)(3)" there? Nope.

[VicenteMosin]

The government does have fault, in that it's failed to make Medicaid resistant to fraud. But you can't blame the government 100%. The actively guilty parties are clearly the for profit corporations set to take advantage of the holes in Medicaid

[VicenteMosin]

@waterkeeper03 now, if Medicaid ended suddenly, these companies would be up a creek. But is throwing out the baby with the bathwater the best way to do it? Is there political support for ending Medicaid? Why not make Medicaid fraud resistant and prevent for profit companies from taking part, and only allowing nonprofits and government agencies to use it? Why not use dental laws banning non-dentists from practicing dentistry to dismantle these dental mills?

[VicenteMosin]

@waterkeeper03 "No, It's better to discard government interference and financial support."

Actually it's a *lack of interference* AND a *presence of financial support*

When you have a lack of interference and a presence of financial support, you have for profit companies that try to take advantage of the situation.

If you put in *government interference* that prevented for profit venture capitalist companies from doing dentistry, this would not happen

[VicenteMosin]

When you get people like waterkeeper03 who try to deny that the for profit corporate business model is causing these problems, you need to suppress the incorrect viewpoints

[VicenteMosin]

@waterkeeper03 I am going to keep replying to you. If it's painful, that's too bad.

"Nonprofit", yes I know what that means. US private schools are usually nonprofit organizations, okay?

Those dental centers are NOT nonprofit. They are 100% for profit, trying to make money off of Medicaid children

Do not call me a moron.
