'Go to the dentist and get fined £100' - BBC News

Unbelievable. Like anyone wants to go to the dentist in the first place! Those crazy Brits!

So in the U.K. you can go to the dentist and the most you'll pay is 100 pounds?

America should adopt this fining system.

Are you two retarded? It's a FINE not a reward! It's levied on people - or it's supposed to be - who abuse the system by trying to get their dental work done for free, as in, on the National Health. How is that "paying for your dentistry"?

Call it a fine or a charge or whatever. It cost them 100 pounds to go to the dentist. I wish I could go to the dentist.

You don't need to get all pissed about it. I mean, I don't have the means for dental care and no way to get around it. Shouldn't I be the one who's pissed?

We're just foaming at the mouth for not having to fill out a mortgage to have our cavities filled. Forgive us our nirvana. We're Americans.

I'm not pissed. I just don't understand how you think a fine is rewarding someone? Anyway, the National Health only applies if you qualify (OAP, disabled, out of work etc) which is kind of the point. I have no idea how much dental procedures cost, as I cannot enter a dentist's surgeon without bursting into flame. So I stay away.
