I've never understood our half-assed view of "healthcare" that doesn't include dental care, vision care, hearing care, etc.
Dems are trying to address this.
"There's a list of health reforms Democrats are hoping to load into their GOP-free budget reconciliation bill.
But last night, they publicly committed to at least one: expanding Medicare benefits to include dental, vision and hearing care.
“Senate Democrats on Tuesday reached an early agreement to pursue a sweeping $3.5 trillion reconciliation package that would expand Medicare benefits, boost federal safety net programs and combat climate change, aiming to sidestep Republican opposition and deliver on President Biden’s top economic priorities,” The Post's Tony Romm, Seung Min Kim and Jeff Stein report."

"But how will we pay for it!??!?!!" - every f'ing stupid ass GOP sucker.
"Some of this could be paid for by including a provision allowing the federal government to directly negotiate lower prices for drugs in the Medicare program — a provision that would actually save the government $345 billion, according to the CBO."
Also, maybe we could have the richest who paid no taxes (corps & individuals) PAY THEIR F'ING FAIR SHARE.
