"If you have dental insurance, you might pay nothing or very little out of yourpocket for a routine dental visit (cleaning, x-rays and exam), compared with anaverage of $150 or more if you don`t have coverage," said Dr Miles Hall, chiefdental clinical director for CIGNA*. "If you need to have a cavity filled, onaverage the cost would be $115 or more without insurance compared to low or nocost with our dental HMO plan. For example, under the new plans, up to four routine cleanings a year - two atno cost and two for a minimal copay -- are covered when recommended by thedentist. BLOOMFIELD, Conn.--(Business Wire)--A little toothache can pretty quickly turn into a big headache -not just foryour mouth but for your wallet too.
That`s why CIGNA's new series of dental HMOplans places an even greater emphasis on affordability and promoting wellness bycovering more preventive dental care services. Pleasedon`t destroy our future." Today`s press conference was part of the Capitol Hill Action Day, which featuredcitizen lobbyists from across the state educating their legislators on the needto balance cuts with new revenue in the long delayed budget. PennFuture is alsoreaching out to encourage citizens to speak out on this issue Citizens for Pennsylvania's FutureJeanne K. Clark, 412-258-6683 / Business Wire 2009. "We implore our leaders to get off their collisioncourse and recognize the real dangers we face with a draconian budget. And flooding ourstate forest with drilling rigs will destroy the very beauty that the forest wasdesigned to protect. "Cutting our environmental funding to the bone, cutting our investments in ourstate parks and state forest, cutting the funding that allows us to sustain thenatural beauty and bounty of our state and to attract others to our state - allof this, in the long run, will mortgage our future for years to come, perhapsforever," continued Jarrett.
Leasing right now is a very bad idea, since the market fornatural gas is so low that the leases would gain us little. "Some have suggested that we avoid a tax on drilling by selling off leases todrill in our state forest," continued Jarrett "That is simply penny wise andpound foolish. A tax on the drilling - with aportion invested in the environment, our agencies that manage fishing andhunting for the citizens, and in the local communities that host the drilling,and with 60 percent going to the general fund - can help fill some of the holesin the budget. "And taxing the removalof natural gas from the Marcellus Shale formation is an idea whose time hascome.
Drilling in the Marcellus Shale has been going on for some time, yet thetaxpayers have received little or no benefit. "There is simply no way, with our staterevenues down and our citizens` needs increasing, that Pennsylvania can balanceits budget on cuts alone without destroying our future "We need to find new sources of revenue," said Jarrett. At a Capitol Hill pressconference, the speakers urged lawmakers to take a number of actions, includingpassage of a severance tax on natural gas drilling, with portions of the taxinvested in the environment and the communities that bear the brunt of thisdrilling. "It`s time for everyone to step back, take a deep breath, and recognize what`simportant here," said Jan Jarrett, president and CEO of Citizens forPennsylvania`s Future (PennFuture). Officials Urged Not to Mortgage Pennsylvania`s Future for Short Term GainHARRISBURG, Pa.--(Business Wire)--Citizens for Pennsylvania`s Future (PennFuture), joined by members of thePennsylvania House and Senate and other elected officials, and hunters, anglersand conservation leaders, called on the Pennsylvania General Assembly andGovernor Ed Rendell to pass a budget with program cuts balanced with new revenueto avoid damage to our land, water and communities.
