Health Care Reform 

NADP applauds the importance placed on oral health as part of health care reform. NADP values oral health and the role of the dental benefits industry in improving access to affordable, quality dental care. Thus, we are working to assure that Americans with dental benefits can keep that coverage. For more information on this effort go to keepourcoverage.com. We look forward to working with federal policymakers in developing solutions for the dentally uninsured without harm to those that are insured today.
