jueves, 15 de junio de 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington DC<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Los senadores estadounidenses Ron Wyden y Jeff Merkley dijeron hoy que ellos y sus colegas del Senado presentaron una legislaci\u00f3n que establecer\u00eda un nuevo programa piloto para brindar atenci\u00f3n dental integral a los veteranos en Oreg\u00f3n y en todo el pa\u00eds diagnosticados con diabetes y enfermedad de las arterias coronarias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financiado por cuatro a\u00f1os, el programa tambi\u00e9n estudiar\u00eda los resultados de salud y la rentabilidad de dicha atenci\u00f3n, as\u00ed como tambi\u00e9n brindar\u00eda oportunidades de reembolso de pr\u00e9stamos para profesionales de atenci\u00f3n dental calificados que acepten servir durante la duraci\u00f3n del programa piloto en una cl\u00ednica dental VA considerada de alta necesidad. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLa atenci\u00f3n dental integral de calidad para los veteranos en Oreg\u00f3n y en todo el pa\u00eds es un beneficio crucial y merecido\u201d, <\/strong>dijo Wyden. \u201cCualquier buen dentista le dir\u00e1 que la mala higiene dental puede provocar diabetes y enfermedades card\u00edacas, por lo que el acceso a una atenci\u00f3n asequible de calidad es fundamental. Siempre luchar\u00e9 con u\u00f1as y dientes para que los veteranos reciban la atenci\u00f3n que merecen\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo podemos abordar completamente la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica de los veteranos dejando de lado los servicios dentales; el Congreso debe garantizar que el VA tenga los recursos necesarios para llegar a todos nuestros veteranos sin importar los servicios que requieran\u201d.<\/strong> dijo Merkley. \u201cEste proyecto de ley es un paso fundamental para garantizar que VA pueda contratar profesionales dentales de primer nivel para que nuestros veteranos tengan los servicios de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica accesibles y de calidad que se han ganado\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

La mala higiene dental est\u00e1 directamente relacionada con otras afecciones m\u00e9dicas cr\u00f3nicas, como la diabetes y las enfermedades card\u00edacas. De acuerdo con la Asociaci\u00f3n Americana de Diabetes<\/a>, la diabetes triplica el riesgo de contraer enfermedad periodontal, una infecci\u00f3n grave de las enc\u00edas que puede provocar la p\u00e9rdida de dientes, p\u00e9rdida \u00f3sea y otras complicaciones de salud graves. una persona con diabetes y enfermedad periodontal<\/a> tambi\u00e9n tiene tres veces m\u00e1s probabilidades de desarrollar una combinaci\u00f3n fatal de enfermedad arterial coronaria y nefropat\u00eda diab\u00e9tica. Otro estudiar<\/a> ha encontrado que las personas con periodontitis, o enfermedad de las enc\u00edas, tienen un mayor riesgo de experimentar un evento cardiovascular importante, como un ataque al coraz\u00f3n o un derrame cerebral.

Sin embargo, de los 9,2 millones de veteranos inscritos en la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica de VA, solo 1,4 millones, apenas el 15 por ciento, son elegibles para atenci\u00f3n dental integral. Seg\u00fan el VA, en 2020, m\u00e1s de 3 millones de veteranos con diabetes y enfermedades card\u00edacas no tuvieron acceso a una atenci\u00f3n dental integral asequible, lo que aument\u00f3 su exposici\u00f3n a los riesgos fatales asociados con estas afecciones de salud cr\u00f3nicas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El senador estadounidense Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., present\u00f3 la legislaci\u00f3n. Junto con Wyden y Merkley, el proyecto de ley fue copatrocinado por los senadores estadounidenses Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Cory Booker, DN.J., Dick Durbin, D-Ill., John Fetterman, D-Pa., Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, Bob Menendez, DN.J., Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., Peter Welch, D-Vt., y Sheldon Whitehouse, DR.I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Ley de Mejora de la Salud Integral para Veteranos con Condiciones Cr\u00f3nicas est\u00e1 respaldada por el Instituto Estadounidense de Salud P\u00fablica Dental, la Asociaci\u00f3n Estadounidense de Higienistas Dentales, la Asociaci\u00f3n Estadounidense del Coraz\u00f3n, la Asociaci\u00f3n de Directores Dentales Estatales y Territoriales, Care in Action, CareQuest Institute for Oral Health, Common Defense , Veteranos estadounidenses discapacitados, Veteranos estadounidenses de Irak y Afganist\u00e1n, Veteranos minoritarios de Estados Unidos, Alianza Nacional de Trabajadores Dom\u00e9sticos, Veteranos Paralizados de Estados Unidos, Consejo Nacional sobre el Envejecimiento, Ciudadano P\u00fablico, Salvemos nuestro VA, Recuperaci\u00f3n SMART, Trabajos del Seguro Social y Veteranos de Asuntos Extranjeros. Guerras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
