Free medical care, including dental treatment In the UK has a fund of obligatory medical insurance NHS. The situation in the field of dentistry in the country is bleak - sometimes queue stretched for several months. And some retirees expect prosthetics by NHS over the years. Professor of Dentistry at the University of Newcastle, an adviser to the British government's Jimmy Steele offers a radical solution to this problem.
Professor Steele believes that we should deny free dental treatment people who do not wish to comply with oral hygiene. For example, if a doctor from the clinic NHS repeatedly warned of the need of the patient twice a day carefully brush your teeth But once again he saw that his recommendations are not followed, then he should be denied the right to dental treatment at the expense of taxpayers. Stubborn and went to a private clinic - even treated at his own expense.
"This should be the installation of crowns and root canal work - says Steele. - If the doctor sees that the same problems occur again and again because of the reluctance of human elementary brush your teeth Then why should the dentist every time the budget to correct this situation? Let the patient goes to private clinics, if it considers that it would be cheaper to treat teeth Than using paste. "
In England already been discussions about how to prevent liver transplant alcoholics by NHS, and to refrain from establishing procedures for hip implant patients suffering from obesity (as long as they do not lose weight). These proposals are discussed at the government level.
And in the business environment is still popular idea is to deprive workers of smokers corporate health insurance. However, this proposal was not even considered by the authorities.
