"People will indeed die as a result of some of these cuts.".
@12 the way I read it is that an underfunded system becomes less and less attractive to prospective dentists who seek an education at UW, who intend to set up shop here, start families here, spend money here, serve the community here. There currently IS a shortage of dentists in WA as elsewhere. Sure, not too many private offices take Medicaid patients, but I don't read that as being the point of this person's letter. I think the point is highlighting one of the many effects of these cuts - dental students rely upon a large enough patient pool to learn how to become good dentists. In turn, the most needy in the community get the service they would not otherwise get. Win-win, right?

Watching Operation Payback.
I wonder what existential mental battle is going on in the minds of the IT staff at mastercard and visa - having to justify the defense of these attacks in light of that whole free speech thing..
