Patients who have poor or no dental care often find themselves suffering from costly and potentially fatal conditions such as cardio-vascular disease and oral cancers.

At its core, Medicare is a fulfillment of a commitment to the health security of the American people.

Doing without dental coverage frequently leads to preventable health problems.

The best way to improve and sustain Medicare is by expanding it and strengthening it because, unfortunately, there are holes in the program that weaken health security of our beneficiaries.
