Poor Swedes priced out of dentistry

The Local:

Many Swedes on low incomes are suffering from poor dental health because they cannot afford to go to the dentist, according to a new report commissioned by the Swedish National Institute of Public Health, which calls for increased state subsidies for dental treatment.

The report's authors, writing in Dagens Nyheter, say that the risk of poor dental health is six times greater among people on low incomes than among those on high incomes. And they claim that the problem is growing, with the number of low-earners choosing not to go to the dentists growing by 30 percent in the past year.

You mean things aren't so egalitarian in socialist paradise?
