Enhancing quality of life through comprehensive dental and vision insurance benefits

People enjoy a better quality of life and greater productivity through improved health, supported by advancement and greater accessibility of early diagnostic services in the areas of health and vision. Quality of life is also inherently tied to other factors, including income, workplace safety, health, family, and social networks. Fortunately, many individuals have access to health and vision plans through employer-sponsored offerings or through the government. About half of individuals in the United States receive health insurance benefits through their employers, while only a small percentage purchase insurance directly from a provider. The remainder of the population qualify for government-sponsored plans. However, these government services have sizable gaps, and only about two-thirds of individuals in the United States have coverage through government-sponsored programs, employer sponsorship, or direct-purchase from private organizations. Of those that do have health insurance, many plans have operating weaknesses, including established limits on care, especially for preventive care, implementation of high deductibles, and restrictions that limit choices regarding treatment and physicians.
