Dental therapists can increase access to dental care in Florida

Sal Nuzzo and Sadaf Knight Special to The News-Press Floridians are currently facing a serious healthcare access crisis. Regular dental visits and proper dental hygiene are essential to the health and well-being of Floridians. Poor dental health profoundly impacts Florida students’ ability to learn and Florida workers’ ability to provide for their families. Despite the importance of dental health, one in four Floridians doesn’t have access to a provider. Fortunately, Florida lawmakers with their eyes on solving problems have a valuable policy reform available to them enable dental therapy. Senator Jeff Brandes has proposed a measure that would mean thousands of Floridians could get access to care by enabling and bringing the proven concept of dental therapy to Florida. It’s past time for the Legislature make it happen.

Experts discuss Medicaid expansion - Central Florida News - Intersection

Miriam Harmatz with the Florida Health Justice Project and Anne Swerlick with the Florida Policy Institute join Intersection to discuss the potential impact of expanding Medicaid in Florida.  The Medicaid expansion would address a coverage gap of Floridians who have no path to affordable healthcare.  Rudowitz says 2.2 million people fall into the coverage gap nationally. “So there are people…adults without dependent children as well as parents that have income above the current Medicaid threshold that are not eligible for Medicaid and they can’t get subsidies in the marketplace,” she says.  Rudowitz says under the current Medicaid program, the federal government would pay 90% of the cost of expansion. The recently-passed American Rescue Plan allows states who expand Medicaid to get an additional five percentage points for their traditional program, which Rudowitz says is much larger than the expansion population.

The Sarasota Republican’s bill has been steadily making its way through the required lawmaking hoops during the current legislative session. And it sure should be doing so.
