The current system is broken and forces people to be fearful of getting the care they need. I had a bad case of poison ivy in the summer and because of insurance reasons, I was not able to see the doctor I have had since I was kid. But why would I need to see a doctor? I clearly knew I had poison ivy. I don't want to spend 100$ and pay for the prescription so I can get a drug I know would cure my problem. So instead I suffered with massive itchiness till it went away by itself. Thanks health care system! I agree.

I agree 100% with everything you said about the difficulties and regulations for foreign dentists and doctors to work in the United States. I wish our government would trust in the basic principles of America- freedom, capitalism, small government and free markets. I am afraid that we are losing the core of what made America great to lazy socialists. Lucia, thank you for your comment!

I am a foreign trained Dentist and I witness how difficult it is to get licensed in the USA due to too many and difficult regulations. A foreign trained dentist has to do the national Boards which are comparable to exams that you do at the very beginning of dental school, after that we have to be very lucky to get accepted by a special foreign Dental program which costs up to $ 250,0000 and takes 2 to 3 years, some programs even 4 years. So the whole process takes minimum 3 to 4 years if you are lucky and most of the time much longer. Many people say that the standards of the foreign countries are lower than the ones of the US, which is sometimes true. But why is it that instruments and machines from the country that I come are used by any dentist every day??? Don`t get me wrong-I am not saying that there should n`t be any tests or regulations for foreign trained dentists! But I truly believe the regulations should be done more wisely and beneficial for the public. Not to forget that those foreign trained dentists could get to work much faster and in that way serve the country much better - and pay Taxes more quickly, be able to spend more money and help to grow the economy.... It would be so much more beneficial to the public if a foreign trained Dentist could instead of expensive programs enroll in to a Volunteer Program for under served people and get started with the licensing from there. I would love to actually use my skills for people in need, but my hand are tied. The reason I came to the USA is because I truly love this country and its people. I specially love and respect that the Americans give so much in charity ( I myself once benefited from this, as I also don`t have so much money due to the fact that I cannot work in my profession at this point) In a more socialistic USA where ``the Rich`` are being taxed for ``the Poor`` ...in other words redistribute their well earned money.. I am afraid that this generosity would not last! Americas spirit could die I know from where I come from: Socialism does n`t work. People hate ``the Rich``, are jealous, bitter and believe that the Government and the ``Rich`` owe them everything. Let me tell you: you don`t want that kind of state of mind here. A socialistic USA would kill it`s spirit. America keep your good spirit!!! I agree with most of what you say in this article.
