RE: I told you earlier that the state had a hand in choosing how this particular requirement is implemented. You said Obamacare does not require it at all. (When I asked why Obamacare requires single adults to purchase pediatric dental coverage, you said, "It does not.") You said states had the choice - they do not. Obamacare requires it as one of the ten EHBs, as I told you. They only choices the states have is the definition of the baseline plan and whether pediatric dental is bundled into it or must be purchased instead as a standalone plan. Your cut and paste of the NY explanation makes it clear that it is required by the ACA, whether bundled into a plan, or as a standalone: "Plans offered in the individual and insured small group market must either include pediatric dental benefits, or follow these rules for the provision of pediatric dental benefits as a stand-alone dental plan..."

in NY where the EHB contains the pediatric dental basic requirement, do you now what that adds to the monthly premium? $4.5...four fucking dollars and fifty cents. In cheaper cost of living states it runs about $2 bucks a month. Do you honestly believe that $4.50/month covers dental care for children?......Yes or No?..Where did that number come from?..If you believe it doesn't cover the actual dental costs for children, then who do you think is paying for these costs?....specifically who?........................same questions for pediatric eye care.
