Action for Dental Health Act
“I'm yielding time to Ms. Kelly. She cares about healthcare for poor people.”
“I want to cheer for my bill. It will train more dentists in poor places. The government will send them money. Kids have bad teeth. Grown-ups have bad teeth. It costs a lot to fix teeth in the hospital. Healthy teeth are good. The government should send money to help people get healthy teeth. A congressman helped me write this bill. He is a dentist. Congress should pass my bill. It will help poor people get dentists. Then their teeth will be better. I want the government to send money to dentists for poor people.”
