Progressives ramp up Medicare expansion push in Congress

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is also vocally pushing the group’s proposals, saying too many seniors “can’t chew food properly” because they don’t have dental coverage.

I suspect that any dental coverage that would make it as an addition to medicare is not going to do much to repair problems for seniors that are already unable to chew food properly because of past lack of dental insurance.

(and note that orthodontics in current dental coverage is very hard to find for adults and is subject to lifetime maximums. To the extent that chewing issues are related to jaw alignments, the problem is more lack of money than lack of dental insurance.)

Who pays for all this? Being nice with other people's money is so easy for these nit wits.

Bernie's little honeymoon to Russia taught him nothing. Those who do not have the aptitude to learn need to stay away from the pocketbooks of others.

Same story, different link.
Schumer, Sanders push to add dental, vision coverage to Medicare

These 2 clowns pushing dental, vision & hearing. Seems to be more of a 2022 campaign platform than reality.

Obamacare got you-know-who elected on false promises and "the ignorance of the American voter".

We could see a repeat with this DVH enhancement.

The DV or DVH "benefits" in MAPD are nothing to write home about but that doesn't stop folks from buying those plans.

The devil is in the details.
