I thank Senator Stabenow for her work in protecting children's dental coverage. I want to clarify any confusion about the Finance Committee's intent when we adopted her amendment, C- 7, on pediatric dental coverage. As I understand it, her intent was to ensure that commercial stand-alone dental plans could participate fairly in an exchange and could also operate outside an exchange. The Senator expressly provided that these stand-alone dental plans could operate outside State or Federal exchanges.
