Dental Insurance left out of Reform bill: Medico to the Rescue
Posted on Tue, Mar 30, 2010
As you are aware, President Obama has now signed the new health-care reform bill into law. This will implement changes to many Americans now and in the coming years. However, one major health option was left out of the bill: Dental Insurance.
There are millions of Americans who do not have Dental Insurance and the numbers are astonishing. Over 80 million adults and over 20 million children do not have coverage. That is more than twice as many Americans who do not have Health Insurance.
Oral healthcare is just as important and Americans should be given affordable opportunities to obtain dental coverage. Currently, most dental insurance options that are offered with Health Insurance plans work more as discount plans. There are some plans that do offer true Dental insurance allowing you to go to any dentist you chose; you are not limited to a network of dentists. One of those companies is Medico. They offer dental insurance for as little as $22 a month. This provides an affordable option for individuals and families to get true stand-alone dental insurance that many Americans overlook.
Seniors who are on Medicare Supplement plans or Medicare Advantage plans can also benefit from such a plan. For seniors with Medicare Supplement plans, their plans do not have any additional dental benefits. Some Medicare Advantage plans do offer dental benefits but limit the member to only the dentists in a specified network. Most seniors prefer to use the dentist they have been seeing for years.
You may be thinking this sounds too good to be true, but they also offer hearing and vision benefits along with their dental plan for the same low price! So now a member can get Dental insurance, Hearing and Vision all for as little as $22 a month! This is a great plan for many Americans looking for affordable healthcare options. As this new healthcare bill begins to implement it's changes, it's good to know there are companies like Medico who can fill in the gaps at an affordable price.
