Will Obamacare Impact Your Dental Care?

A Fortune/CNN opinion piece published earlier today suggests that every dentist in North Hollywood could benefit from the effects of the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare) if  President Obama plays his cards right. The new health care law, passed in 2010, seeks to cover many of the 40 million uninsured Americans currently without health insurance, in part, by imposing a financial penalty on anyone who does not sign up to receive coverage by January 1, 2014.

One important demographic the Obama Administration is counting on to enroll in the program is the so-called "millennial" generation (ages 18-29). So far, millennials have mostly abstained from registering, in large part due to their youth and relative healthiness. But, as the aforementioned editorial implies, the Obama Administration could attract large swaths of young adults to register by allowing insurance companies the chance to offer vision and dental insurance as an alternative to health insurance through the Affordable Care Act.

Whether or not a change like the one suggested above ends up being worked into the law, Hamlin Dental Group will continue to offer San Fernando Valley residents the highest quality dental care at an affordable rate.
