  The general assembly hereby determines, finds, and declares that:   The state has insufficient resources to pay for all medical services for persons who are indigent and must therefore allocate available resources in a manner that will provide treatment of those conditions constituting the most serious threats to the health of such medically indigent persons, as well as increase access to primary medical care to prevent deterioration of the health conditions among medically indigent people; and    Such allocation of resources will require the prioritization of medical services by providers and the coordination of administration and delivery of medical services.       The general assembly further determines, finds, and declares that the eligibility of medically indigent persons to receive medical services rendered under the conditions specified in subsection (1) of this section exists only to the extent of available appropriations, as well as to the extent of the individual provider facility's physical, staff, and financial capabilities. The general assembly also recognizes that the program for the medically indigent is a partial solution to the health-care needs of Colorado's medically indigent citizens. Therefore, medically indigent persons accepting medical services from such program shall be subject to the limitations and requirements imposed in this part 1.     History.

  The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:   The purpose of this part 4 is to promote the health and welfare of Colorado low-income seniors by providing access to patient-centered dental care and services to individuals sixty years of age or older whose income and resources are insufficient to meet the costs of such care and thereby support individuals and families to live independently with a good quality of life;    By relocating and reorganizing the “Colorado Dental Care Act of 1977”, which provided dental services to certain eligible seniors, the state department can align those dental health-care services with adult dental benefits provided through other dental health-care programs for seniors and thereby target the resources effectively to low-income seniors who may not qualify for those programs;    The state department shall implement this part 4 through collaboration among various executive departments, agencies, and political subdivisions of the state; private individuals; and organizations, including but not limited to:   The local area agencies on aging;    Community health centers;    Safety-net clinics;    Private practice dental providers; and    Foundations; and       The state department shall implement this part 4 as a grant program throughout all geographic regions of the state using best practices and experience from other grant programs operated by the state department to provide maximum flexibility to safety-net and private-practice dental providers in order to promote the health and welfare of low-income seniors.
