[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have worked in both PG and Montgomery county clinics. I can assure you that neither county covers braces for undocumented children.

BUT - PG dental clinics are only for HIV+ patients, undocumented pregnant women, and undocumented children. When I was at PG and had to occasionally step away from clinic to man the phones, it was very difficult to tell legal PG county adult residents that unfortunately we could not help them. There was an adult program that lasted a few years, but I believe that is now defunct.

I work in public health, and although I do love what I do, politically I lean conservative.

If someone can tell me why it makes sense to have clinics for undocumented women and children, but not legal residents, I would love to hear it. [/quote]
