US dental care crisis: It should not be a luxury to keep your teeth in your mouth

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

69% : That is why this bill expands Medicare, Medicaid and the VA to provide comprehensive dental coverage to every senior, veteran and low-income person in America and makes dental care an essential benefit under the Affordable Care Act.
52% : In America today, only a third of our dentists provide care to people on Medicaid, and only a very small percentage are providing care for those who are underserved.
46% : This legislation would address that issue by increasing reimbursement rates for dental procedures under Medicaid.
