One of the biggest gaps in health care in Humboldt County is in dental care, and the enhanced premium pays dentists better and almost eliminates co-pays.
Even if an employer offers coverage for dependents, most people in Humboldt County have to pay for it. It's unaffordable for a family that has to pay for rent, groceries, sneakers. Paying $100, $150 or $200 a month is way beyond the realm of possibility.
