If I didn’t have glasses or hearing aids my life and career would be seriously diminished. Bravo to Bernie for his compassionate insistence on this.
It is unacceptable to me that seniors in the richest country on earth cannot afford the hearing aids or the eyeglasses they need to hear and see their grandchildren.

FYI: You can get great glasses from @WarbyParker for just $100. I have some and they're great!

This is why the government created a massive distraction around one virus !! Not sure yall see this yet.

I feel it’s unacceptable for the United States to not offer better assistance to our elderly and disabled. Things like eye glasses, hearing aids and dental would be a good start. We can and should do better.✌🏽

Really? Cuz I heard him say at a "town hall," the other day, that "Now is not the time when we will pass single payer healthcare. That fight lies ahead." . . . a far cry from the 'political revolution' he was soliciting, a few years back

Hearing aids r beyond affordable for most. So sad. Hearing aid lobby won/audioligists r heinous. Been deaf since 5 ys old (partially) surgery too at 6. 4x. NEVER MET A HEARING AID CONSULTANT in 50 yrs who rec'ed me a charity provider. Damn greed capitalists.

I'm fed up with Bernie's talk and no walk. He's good at identifying problems, but terrible at getting others to fight with their votes. He needs Joe Manchin to mentor him! Bernie's good at arousing emotions, like good con artist! He's representing himself as something he's not!
