Is there anywhere in Salt Lake City Utah that offers free braces to an 18 year old with no medical insurance?
Not at all. A lot of dentists do allow payments plans though. I was 16 when I got my braces and had no insurance. I was put on a payment plan paying $120 per month. See if that is an option for you but you won't get braces for free anywhere. Good luck and God bless! Jobless Utahns priced out of health care - Deseret NewsWith the cost of continuing health care coverage amounting to three-fourths of unemployment insurance benefits, most newly unemployed Utahns are also newly uninsured, or are about to be.According to a state-by-state assessment released this morning, the ripple effect of having the highest national unemployment rate since 1945 will cause a dramatic increase in the number people who have no medical coverage. Because a job and health insurance are linked through the workplace for about 80 percent of Utahns, a job loss is a double whammy for families, according to the nonpartisan, nonprofit health care policy research group Families USA. Workers can retain their employer-sponsored insurance if those laid-off can afford to pay the full cost of continuing that coverage, Ron Pollack, executive director, said in a Friday conference call with news media nationwide. "That's possible in a few cases, but in Utah as in 40 other states, the insurance premium is almost as much as the worker's monthly unemployment check," he said, noting that the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act (COBRA) designed to prevent workers between jobs from a lapse in coverage isn't a practical option. |
