STATE HEALTH SITE LACKING INFORMATION ON KIDS DENTAL COVERAGE, ADVOCATES SAY

Oral health advocates say Maryland’s health insurance exchange and insurance providers are not doing enough to inform consumers about children’s dental benefits guaranteed by the Affordable Care Act.

Potential enrollees are unable to view detailed information about what dental benefits are included in a medical care plan until they purchase it, making comparison shopping on the state’s health exchange website difficult.

The brief descriptions of dental care offerings on the site are misleading, said Colin Reusch, the senior policy analyst for the Children’s Dental Health Project, because insured children ages 19 or younger are guaranteed more than just a simple check-up.

Can't people do anything by themselves anymore? How about reading the policy? Are people this stupid anymore? Next thing you know they will need help on how to wipe their butts! That's what this society is coming to. Imbeciles who have no business even having children if they can't read something as simple as an insurance policy. We really need a spay/neuter program for these dopes.
