Also most dental insurance will only pay up to $10-5k total per year, so its not some unlimited spout of money you can abuse like medical insurance in the USA. Some dentists offer a direct subscription plan that costs around the same amount of costs as a dental plan directly as a result.

Apropos of outliers, this type of attitude is problematic and emblematic of issues in the US.

"Needing healthcare" is not "abusing medical insurance".

I'm pretty sure your parent comment was characterizing the doctors and hospitals, not the patients, as abusing the system.

I think he means the hospitals abusing it by billing inflated charges - not patients using healthcare.
