The Issues

Barriers to Care Story on ABC
On April 24, ABC News with Diane Sawyer reported the story "Hidden America: Medicaid's Youngest Face Dental Crisis." Watch the video here.

ASDA Advocates for Dental Grant Program
ASDA supports S. 1878 and H.R. 4091, the “Coordination of Pro Bono Medically Recommended Dental Care Act,” introduced by Sen. Menendez and Rep. Diana DeGette. On March 13, ASDA signed on one letter to the Senate and one for the House to urge members to be co-sponsors. Read more here.

Dental Responder Act Passes House
On Tuesday, Dec. 5 the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 2405, the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act of 2011. Section 2 of the bill contains the entire text of H.R. 570, the Dental Emergency Responder Act of 2011, for which ASDA lobbied at National Dental Student Lobby Day in March 2011. This bill would include dentists and dental facilities in emergency disaster response framework. The bill still needs to be approved by the U.S. Senate.
