title: Medicaid and Medicaid dentistry in the Reagan years.
abstract: In the early years of the Reagan administration, massive cuts were proposed in federal health and social legislation. Programs for the poor were correspondingly reduced substantially. The administration's desired decreases in Medicaid expenditures and federal government responsibilities have not been produced, however. The future of the program seems to be with older and disabled populations.
