Background:
Medicaid is crucial to U.S. Healthcare, providing dental benefits for children and optional adult coverage. Cutting adult benefits limits access to preventive care, leading to increased emergency visits for non-traumatic dental conditions.
Description:
The 2025 Budget Reconciliation Act (OBBBA) proposes major Medicaid changes, impacting access to care, including oral health. Expected cuts will increase uninsured rates and lead states to reduce adult dental benefits. These shifts will drive more emergency department visits and higher costs for non-traumatic dental conditions. Without sufficient dental coverage, millions risk preventable pain and financial hardship.
