Story

Please tell us how you, your family or your community has benefited from Medicaid coverage for dental care, vision care, and transportation assistance: I work for government providing housing to the homeless. Dental coverage is essential for persons coming from the street life. They often have serious dental issues that compromise their everyday health.

Please tell us how eliminating these benefits would affect you, your family, or your community: Of the 236 persons we provide housing for, they will be furthered stressed trying to find and/or pay for dental care. They will run up bills they cannot possibly pay on their limited incomes. This could compromise their success coming off the streets or out of shelters.
