Restore Adult Dental Coverage

Fully restore adult dental: Legislators need to hear from you

Our state needs to fully restore dental coverage for low-income adults. Urge legislators to approve the House level of funding.

Nearly 450,000 Medicaid-insured adults lost dental coverage in 2011 due to budget cuts. Today, we can use savings from Medicaid Expansion to restore coverage.

Budget decisions are being made now, email your legislators today.

Restoring coverage this year is a smart investment. It will:

save money by keeping people healthy
reduce avoidable hospitalizations and ER visits
help people become more employable and self-reliant, and
ensure Washington gets its fair share under healthcare reform.
