Well, as unPC as it is, the answer used to be the "the Unemployment Line in West Virginia".
It may need to be changed to "the Unemployment Line in Chicago" Dental health on decline for Chicago's needy ( http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-met-chicago-dental-care-0221-20130221,0,7789444.story?track=rss ) >From 2006 to 2011, more than a quarter of the region's low-cost dental clinics were shut, according to a 30-page white paper released Thursday by the Chicago Dental Society. The report details how the local availability of dental treatment has declined for the neediest patients, leading to what one dentist calls a "perfect storm of an oral health crisis." Most factors cited in the report could apply to any municipality strained budgets, fundamental misconceptions about oral care and shrinking income thanks to stubborn unemployment. But the dental safety net in Cook County and Chicago is especially vulnerable, according to oral health advocates. Last spring, Illinois lawmakers approved a $1.6 billion cut to the state's Medicaid program, resulting in what many dentists describe as an "emergency-only" program for adults. The remaining service, they say, does nothing to curb the underlying problems that can often lead to emergency treatment. Today, Illinois ranks 48th in the nation for Medicaid reimbursement, with the state paying back Medicaid dentists just over half what it gives hospitals and pediatricians.
