Gavin Newsom’s porn for inmates is hardly the only gift generously bestowed upon California by its moonbat rulers. Alarmed by Spencer Pratt’s insurgent campaign, the communist mayor of Los Angeles offers free teeth for methamphetamine addicts.
Via Breitbart:
“How many people who are unhoused that you meet have no teeth at all?” she asked. “They don’t have teeth, why? Because meth rots your teeth. You can’t succeed without teeth! So there needs to be comprehensive healthcare provided to people.”
You can always tell when Democrats approve of something because they refer to it with a euphemism. Illegal aliens are “undocumented.” Welfare dependency is the “safety net.” Anti-white racism is “anti-racism.” Abortion is “choice.” Criminals are the “justice impacted.” Drug-crazed bums are the “unhoused.”
Good thing taxpayers have plenty of money, because this won’t be cheap:
We’re talking about tens of thousands of dollars in dental care. Implants cost about $6000 per tooth. Extractions run around $300 per tooth. Meth heads will almost certainly require bone grafts, sinus lifts, and maybe even sedation. …
In my experience, you’re looking at a total cost in the range of $30,000 to $80,000, and that’s if the city pays the dentist directly, which it won’t. The whole program will be funneled through a non-profit or NGO, which will double or triple the cost to taxpayers (with sweet kickbacks to Democrats), just like Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D-CA) “free” diaper program tripled the cost of the diapers the government (i.e. taxpayers) bought.
Meanwhile, those of us who don’t earn the favor of Democrats by becoming meth addicts have to pay for our own dental care — as well as theirs, if Bass makes good on her promise.
