This sounds like it could actually really help people. Something’s off. What’s the catch? Do they harvest the orphans’ organs on their 25th birthday?
You know the labor shortage is getting to be real when a government decides to start taking care of children’s health.
Dental is actually a high focus right now, and more European countries are starting to provide longer care for free because bad teeth is realted to many other health issues.
It’s basically a net positive to give young people dental than it is to treat them at the hospital for something else later in life.
Wow, turns out keeping your people healthy is beneficial to society as a whole. Who knew?
Damn that’s good news!
That’s not already free in England?
“Teeth and spectacles”
Attlee’s record for settling internal differences in the Labour Party fell in April 1951, when there was a damaging split over an austerity Budget brought in by the Chancellor, Hugh Gaitskell, to pay for the cost of Britain’s participation in the Korean War. Aneurin Bevan resigned to protest against the new charges for “teeth and spectacles” in the National Health Service introduced by that Budget, and was joined in this action by several senior ministers, including the future prime minister Harold Wilson, then the president of the Board of Trade. Thus escalated a battle between the left and right wings of the Party that continues today.[173] Finding it increasingly impossible to govern, Attlee’s only chance was to call a snap election in October 1951, in the hope of achieving a more workable majority and to regain authority.[174] The gamble failed: Labour narrowly lost to the Conservative Party, despite winning considerably more votes (achieving the largest Labour vote in electoral history). Attlee tendered his resignation as prime minister the following day, after six years and three months in office.[175]
