NH Medicaid still neglects dental health care funding

ENFIELD For the people with developmental disabilities who are under the care of Visions for Creative Housing Solutions, a routine dental appointment can clean out their modest savings accounts.
The nonprofit serves 11 residents at its Enfield location and soon will serve 11 more in Lebanon when a second location on Green Street opens later this month.
As adults with disabilities, Visions residents primarily rely on Medicaid to cover the cost of their health care needs. But New Hampshire is among a minority of states without a Medicaid dental benefit for adults.
The Historical Society and New Hope Arts collaboration will showcase Bucks County artists works onsite at each garden, a showcase of garden-themed art.

How we got safe, effective vaccines so quickly
As the COVID-19 vaccine becomes more available, younger Americans are asking whether vaccination is the right way to go. Forum contributor Kate Eastman stated her determination to refuse the vaccine, questioned their safety and “celebrated” her “right” of refusal. Forum contributors Stephen Dycus and David Allen addressed the ethical issues, refuting the idea that to vax or not to vax is simply a matter of personal health.
I will focus on the questions about safety that naturally arise because of the remarkable speed with which the vaccines became available and uncertainty about the significance of “emergency use authorization” vs. the longer process of licensing approval.
