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

Bernie didn't try to get that, he was trying to collapse the bill and earn himself campaign material
Replying to @marwilliamson
the fact that hearing and dental and um every part of the human body is not covered by standard health insurance is a fucking joke

When I was younger I felt hearing aids were a good thing, but after 35 years of marriage, not so much.

A lot of people just want to claim a political victory so their side wins instead of helping out people

Hearing well is so important for elderly. It can prevent unnecessary falls. Their mental status suffers when they can’t hear.
Replying to @marwilliamson
It's not gone forever. It's just not part of this bill so as not to derail the fragile coalition that was worked on to pass even this. You won't get Manchinema on board with more spending. So we pass this now and win more Senate seats to make these expansions possible.

Guess what ALL we can do if we stop acting like asses and win the midterms 🙂 Or we can keep fighting with it each other and give it to the Republicans.

Agreed. So...have you talked to Yang lately?
