7 billion euro smile

The Swedish Democratic party have pledged €7 billion for dental care for Swedish citizens in their manifesto, however asylum seekers and non Swedish citizens will have to pay full price for treatment.

The party claims that while the pledge is a pricey one, that tax payers will not see any increases to pay for the service and that dental care is a fundamental part of general health care.

I was going to congratulate Sweden for valuing dental care as health issue- Portuguese people pay dental hygiene products/services at 23%, luxury good tax- and then I read the rest and you lost my support Sweden. You fail to recognise Asylum seekers and non Swedish residents as human beings deserving of health care. Oh, hypocrisy…PR like a forward-progressive leaning Country abroad, miserly at home. At least here in Pt we eat s**t and everybody knows it, lol
