ObamaCare Disaster: No Dentists In Colorado

From the Denver Post: Hundreds of thousands of Coloradans will have new dental care benefits in 2014 under twin health-reform efforts, but state leaders now must scramble to find providers who will care for them.
A new dental benefit for adults with Medicaid, coupled with an Obamacare expansion of eligibility and pediatric benefits required on the state exchange, will balloon the number of paying patients.
But many Colorado dentists say the new patients still won't come with enough revenue to be worth the headaches of care and bureaucracy.
Other patients simply have no nearby dentist to try — nine Colorado counties had no dentist at all in the last survey.
About 335,000 current Medicaid adults gain access to dental care in the spring, and tens of thousands more will join Medicaid rolls under the Affordable Care Act expansion. Added to them will be potentially thousands of privately insured children with dental care included under "essential benefits" minimums of the state health exchange.
Even if only 20 to 25 percent of those eligible start taking advantage of dental benefits, "that's 95,000 people seeking care," said Karen Cody Carlson, executive director of the nonprofit Oral Health Colorado. "Having the benefit is a great positive step, but it's creating an access problem as well," she said.

Just another theory that Obama and his ilk failed to think out.  Oh, yes, they will expand health care for millions, but they won't hae people to treat them.
Doctor are leaving the medical profession- I've lost 2 doctors this year.  Many of them don't want to deal with ObamaCare and all of it's problems.
There is a difference between the real world and theory and the liberal theory just is not working out as well as planned and people will suffer because of it.
