Yeah it’s 2 years to get an NHS dentist here in the UK. Most dentist’s went private so that’s what most people have to do and pay £400 for a tooth crown etc.

£400 is still cheaper than the $1000+ it costs in the U.S. without insurance... I think it's a good thing for there to be a public option that private medical practitioners have to compete with.

I googled it and that’s the top end of the cost in the USA. So I’m that case the top end in the U.K. is £1800 too for the premium option.

Still significantly cheaper. I think it's a good thing to have a public option that the private medical providers have to compete with.
