I think standard dental for kids should be covered as they shouldn't be punished for poor parents but adults should take care of their own teeth. If you look at the fee rates for dentists in the article it's about $500 to $1000 dollars a head. So that represents probably a 2k increase per tax payer.

stupid argument. Many health conditions are preventable. Broken bones, accidents, some types of cancer, diabetes, HIV, etc you can argue that apart from genetics most health issues people go to the doctor for are preventative. Are you going to sit there and make that judgment call on everybody that goes into a doctor's office?
