Thank you, I appreciate that reference. To summarize my reading, Ms. Clinton's statement to the NEJM does in fact show what has been claimed, that dental coverage was to be considered as part of ACA improvements Ms. Clinton wanted to work on. She even discusses dental specifically in a letter discussing how to "Improve the ACA". On the other hand, Mr. Trump's statements likewise don't seem to specifically support addressing problems with dental coverage and accessibility. Therefore it is reasonable to take the position that the election of Trump did in fact reduce the chances of improving dental care in the US, is it was part of Ms. Clinton's plan, but not Mr. Trump's.

I believe Trump made some pretty grandiose promises. Now, he may have intended in good faith to follow through, but he harnessed his star to the Republican party, which has systematically opposed Obamacare since it was announced. Therefore, unless Trump decides to be genuinely maverick and jump to the Democratic policies, it will be unfortunately unlikely that his promises would be followed through. I'm kind of curious to see if Trump does that - many of the desperate voters profiled in the original article voted for him on that kind of basis.
