My issues are many, however I want to speak out about the "Dental Health Issues".... Medicaid pays for a Patient who needs a Scooter (cost about$6,000.00 give or take a little) to get around in, Home Health, COPD, and Diabetic's supplies needed to check a Patiens own blood sugar levels. Medicaid pays for Dental Health Services for Infants and People up to the age of 21 years old. But Medicaid refuses to pay for Dental problems, which is the cause of near fatal infections in the body, left unattended for long periods of time. Every Doctor knows that good Dental Health is Key a Persons good health. So why would Medicaid refuse to pay for Dental Services like a Root Canal for instance? This Dental condition is very painful, and along with all the other disiblites these elderly Patients suffer, Medicaid refuses to pay for a Root Canal, saying "It's not an emergency." It will become an emergency when this Root Canal goes with out surgery and causes infection to get into the Patient's blood stream and become more of a health issue. Medicaid would end up paying thousands of dollars more when the Patient ends up in sugery, or dies because Medicaid Refuses to pay the high Cost of what Dentist are allowed to Charge. Doctor's and Dentist, Hospitals, ect..can Charge a Patient as much as they want and the Goverment will not put a cap on what they can charge "Helpless Women ".......Who are 60 and over, living in Proverty with no Health Care on Dental Health in Sight as far as The Goverment and Congressman/women are concerned. This is nonesense and should be addressed as if it were Cancer being treated or any other health or disablities, such as Physical Therapy, ect....are covered. I am very disappointed in Congress, State Medicaid and the Goverment who can give money to Banks and Car Dealerships but can't put a cap on what Dentist charge People who are Elderly and have no Insurance or Money, to pay their Fee. I feel that it's a total and intentional overlook of the Goverment to Ignore this Dental Issue!!!! Thanks for allowing me to speak out!
