In the States, health-care reform might have become just another
political ploy to earn votes come Election Day up on Capitol Hill
-- but it's causing some parents to resort to Middle Ages.

We don't know if the lack of adequate dental care in the USA forced
these two parents to pull their child's loose tooth out by tying
one end of a string around the tooth and another to the end of a
remote-controlled car and sending it barreling toward a makeshift
ramp at Mach 2 -- but we're pretty sure Child Protective Services
might be able to recommend a more suitable method.
