Dental Care for people with a Chronic Disease

Many Australians are faced with enduring a chronic disease in their day to day life, such as diabetes, cancer, alzheimer's, mental health issues and bleeding disorders, these people are also more susceptible to dental diseases' such as periodontal disease and dental caries (decay).
There is currently a scheme through Medicare that allows eligible individuals to claim for dental care - reducing their risk of development and progression of these diseases. Our government wants to crap this scheme, leaving individuals with chronic disease left to pay for costly private dental care, which a lot simply cannot afford.
Please join my colleague - Professor Hans Zoellner in his plight to save this worthwhile health initiative, increasing the quality of life for eligible individuals by following this link :Protect Dental Medicare for People with Chronic Disease 
Thanks for your support - you never know when you, your family or someone you love may need this help!
