For example the provision of dental care. This may not seem important in the financial plan, but, for many people it is a very heavy burden. It can affect very bad for people with little income, especially when the issue of dental infections develop into something more serious and threatening.
You know, this is not the only place in the 47 million uninsured Americans face on this issue. They are covered by Medicaid is a federal health insurance program is only intended for the poor. The problem is that the reimbursement rates for dentists in the Medicaid program is so low that it causes a lot of dentists who refuse to accept Medicaid patients. This can lead to poor people will receive dental care that leads to a system of rationed.
One of the best ways to overcome this problem is to improve the dental Medicaid payments to dentists to adjust market prices, thus rationing system can be terminated. It would be more effective as expected among the children, in which preventive care is relatively inexpensive and cost effective.
