Health care reform impacts dental benefits


Delta Dental educates Americans
The importance of considering how health care reform might impact dental benefits is the focus of the national Delta Dental Plans Association and located. They are helping to educate the public, regulators, lawmakers and policymakers about how oral health might be helped or hindered under new health care proposals put forward by Congress. The web site includes information about:


· The effects of poor oral health
· The connection between oral and overall health
· The significant differences between medical and dental benefits
· The importance of preventive dental treatment
· Implications of the potential new taxes on those who currently enjoy employer-sponsored dental benefits.


“Delta Dental is committed to including wider access to affordable dental care in overall health care reform,” says Gary D. Radine, president and CEO of Delta Dental of California, Pennsylvania and affiliated companies. “Given how important we know dental benefits are for promoting overall health, it is critical to preserve the deductibility of dental benefits for employers and individuals who purchase them,” says Radine.
