As the FY 07 budget process winds its course, one closely watched issues of vital importance to our patients is MassHealth Dental coverage. Full restoration of dental coverage for adults was included in the legislature’s proposed budget. This item was vetoed by Governor Romney. This veto has been overridden by the House. The Senate is expected to take up override votes the first week in May. So stay tuned! Or, even better, exercise your voice- call your state Senator and urge him or her to vote to override the governor’s veto. Don’t know who your senator is or how to contact him or her? Go to www.wheredoivotema.com or call (800) 462-VOTE. You may also contact Ellen Forman for more info and a sample script.
