does anybody know If dental and vision Is covered. I am assuming that since there really is no drugs involved in these professions, the pharmaceutical companies wont make money, so they did not bribe our politicians to include it in ACA.
I am not sure, I don't really follow politics, to me they are all the same. if they are not covered, and the "free health insurance" is going to cost folks some money, people will have to pay for dental, and vision as well. that is some expensive free stuff.

in theory everything is covered according to those that love the law. the problem is that the regulations regarding obamacare have not been fully written yet, even though there are 20,000 pages of them already, and they havent been fully released either. obamacare is a huge charlie foxtrot waiting to happen.

The only thing covered in Obamacare is the Fed governments revenue increase.

It is saying, if you don't have proof of insurance, you pay the fine.
Watch the train wreck that is going to cause.

It is now a paid privilege to walk the soil of the USA as a citizen.

Actually there are drugs involved in both vision & dental.
Consult your carrier. Some carriers provide dental & vision, others don't. If your carrier provides these services, chances are you will be charged more for your coverage. The ACA has nothing to do with it.

It covers pediatric dental and vision, not adult.

20000+ pages? that is a lot. which means there is a lot hiding in those pages. I wonder why so many pages If all they are trying to tell me that it is going to be " free". Hmmm, I am more of a conspiracy person. I say, did Obama really sit in the room when it was written, who actually wrote it, and to think that as soon as he took office it was ready. that has been written for a while, they just needed the perfect puppet to sell it. Obama has no idea what Is in that thing, he just smiles and sell it.

Correct, that is for Essential Health Benefits. State exchanges in theory can be more generous.

Are you going to be on the exchange? If so, you will have to look at the different policies that are being offered on the exchange.
If you are not going to purchase insurance through the exchange, then find a policy that includes what ever you want.
My policy covers vision and dental, and my family policy cost is going up by $8 a month in 2014.
