When have you ever had to wait for a dentist appointment, Mr. Merz?

Probably never. But many people actually often wait a long time, too long, for a doctor's appointment. If you ask practicing doctors about the reasons, you will learn a lot about the consequences of health policy - for example, the unspeakable budgeting.

On October 2nd, doctors called attention to the misery with a day of strike and pointed out that without the budgeting being lifted, more and more practices will close, with drastic consequences for the care of the population.

The fact that Mr. Merz is now scapegoating refugees of all people is a real scandal. Because he knows very well that they only have a very limited right to dental care. The Federal Dental Association points this out in a circular: “Each dentist must decide based on the patient’s individual situation which examinations and treatments are necessary and covered within the meaning of Sections 4 and 6 of the Asylum Seekers Benefits Act. The practitioner can get into an ethical conflict if possible tooth-preserving measures are not financed. Under certain circumstances, only acute pain warrants treatment.”

Asylum seekers do not get, as Mr. Merz claims, “straightened your teeth”, but at best an emergency treatment to relieve acute toothache.

Instead of criticizing the real causes of the misery in the politics of the traffic light government, which does not even stand by its promises from the coalition agreement to abolish budgeting, he incites those affected against each other - in the style of the ultra-right and according to the motto: Divide and rule !

We protest decisively against this attempt at division and demand adequate and high-quality healthcare for everyone! No division and no agitation against refugees!
