Will Medicare be expanded to include Dental, etc this year?

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

Senator Bernie Sanders sure is adamant that it will be included in the final bill. But Senator Joe Manchin has doubts.

Edited to change to Medicare

Isn't it going to run out of money in a few years?  Perhaps adding more now isn't a good idea.

Conservatives have been predicting the supposed “insolvency” of Medicare and/or Social Security since at least the 1970s

so there is nothing to worry about then?  Sweet.  Dental, optical, acupuncture, elective plastic surgery, aromatherapy, cover it all.

Dental care and optometry are in the same class as lip fillers and boob jobs, apparently.  Here I thought that teeth and vision were essential.  You learn something new everyday!

How comes nobody ever asks if The Pentagon is going to run out of money?

For those that don't know people get Dual Coverage on Medicare and Medicaid Expansion, Medicaid pays the premium of the 150 so you don't get 150 taken out of your check


Medicaid doesn't pay for Molars they pay for False teeth on front teeth only like a flipper, you don't need certain molars I. Your mouth and Medicare only pays 70/30% really we already have Medicare Expansion anyways it's something on top of what we already have, I have stated this many times but of course Solid as Cookie Damage, we know it's Solid he loved Cookie Roberts and Roxas 11, especially Roxas think this is a 1=9T dollar stimulus package and we all gonna get 1400 bucks that we still need, but Congress can't even raise the debt Ceiling on time

Seniors already qualify for Food stamps under income too

because they have to figure out where the funds for discretionary spending (military) are coming from every year.  Mandatory spending (Medicare) has a different funding method and the experts in the field think it will be short in a few years.  <NPR cite>

Is there any thing else you need explained?

 The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services makes an annual budget request just like The Pentagon. This is an explanation of how Medicare is funded and despite the misinformation, its direct funding mechanisms is actually more solvent than The Pentagon.

 So again why does nobody ask if The Pentagon is going to run out of money? Is it because we have accepted that we will always meet The Pentagon budget annual requests and obligations.

 Does America want to be nation that gives its citizens competent healthcare or does it want to be a nation that funds a huge bloated military that routinely loses wars for profit.


 Yes, We Really Can Cut the Pentagon to Pay for Medicare for All

When California cut dental benefits, emergency ED visits for dental issues significantly increased. These visits are pretty expensive financially. https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2014.1358

 Yes, the American Healthcare system seems like a design exercise to find the most inefficient and expensive ways to pay for medical services with mediocre or worse outcomes.
