Good for everyday people ·
The bill would force dental insurers to publish how they spend premiums and give a rebate if they spend too little on care.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If passed, West Virginians could see more of their dental premiums go to actual treatment and get lower costs, while dentists won’t be forced to pay credit‑card fees.
