You have a great doctor and I think if you have less you can not pay the same. Health is decreasing because people avoid to visit a doctor and can not pay for medications. It's the same with the dentist.
They are no longer part of the health insurance so people no longer go. The dentist can ask any price he likes, there are many bad dentists and most do not accept you as a patient if you are not willing to visit them at least twice a year for a check-up. If you do not have the money to pay for it you skip the dentist.
