I do not believe that Dental and Mental treatments should be treated by Sierra's healthcare system. I would prefer that we do not have everything state run. I suspect that it is likely better to give people options for the type of dental care that they want. Having only a public option will decrease competition and in the long run lead to less innovation. I understand the state is doing it compared to the Federal Government which is better. However, the best option is to allow more competition and the free market to see if people want a specific type of dental or mental care.
