Lots of people on Twitter probably don’t realize what it would mean to millions of elders to have Medicare expanded to cover hearing. What glasses are to younger people, hearing aids are to a lot of older people. Thank you Bernie for trying

Medicare does offer vision and hearing but only on certain plans. Ask a Medicare broker for more information.

Teeth are most important. Dental care comes before ears and eyes

That ain't good enough. You need to run and actually accomplish said goals.

We do. We just know it doesn’t go in this bill & Bernie is welcome to create a bill to address this issue.

If this was presented properly by competent politicians than it would pass. Who would be against it?

When my grandma died my mom inherited money from her estate. When my mom dies, I'll get a beanie baby collection and probably no SS. But totes agree, people under 60 don't deserve the right to hear, eat or see, especially since medicaid doesn't cover those either. 🙃

"trying" is nice. He should have withheld his vote to force concessions just like the evil senators do.
