On the other hand, even fewer have their recommended yearly checkup: "For working-age adults ages 19-64, 38.7% had a dental visit [in the past 12 months]." [0]

The "already taxed by the estate tax" justification is ridiculous to start with. If you have unpaid income tax it doesn't get waived to avoid "double taxation"; certainly you don't get a refund on all the taxes already paid on your savings. But if you kick the can down the road long enough with unrealized gains then you get a special bonus?
