I thank the Senator for clarifying this issue. Also Senator Stabenow and I want to thank the Chairman for working so closely with us and a number of our colleagues to ensure that the Affordable Care Act includes children's oral health care as part of the essential benefits package that health insurers must offer in order to participate in health insurance exchanges. In doing so, we fully recognized that too many children suffer needlessly from dental problems that are overwhelmingly preventable and that oral health is integral to their overall health.
