Dollars and dentists

We devote weekends to extensive listening, so that we can get familiar with authentic material designed for native speakers of English. The focus here is on the content rather than how much or how little we understood.

Today's video is the first part of a PBS documentary of Frontline, a programme that explores critical issues of our times - from business and health to social issues, politics and war. Today's episode deals with the problems a good share of American society has to face to foot the bill of their dental care.

You can read the transcript here.
