House Ways & Means OKs Medicare Dental, Vision and Hearing Bills | ThinkAdvisor

H.R. 4650 (the Medicare Dental Act of 2019 bill): This bill would add coverage for preventive, basic and major dental services, such as coverage for bridges, crowns, root canals and dental implants, to the definition of the “medical and other health services” covered by Medicare, in Section 1862(s) of the Social Security Act of 1935.

Note all the "cosponsors" are Democrats.

I would say the Cubs will appear in the World Series before a DVH Medicare add-on becomes reality.

Wouldn’t be good for us. MAPD party would slow down.

I wouldn’t count on it actually coming to fruition. Haven’t they tried adding it in the past with no real luck?

They will attach it on to a critical to pass bill hopefully in the senate and house. Like the save the earth bill.

As long as Trump is in office, it’s not happening. His folks are way too supportive of MA and anything that grows it’s membership numbers.

Oh look, the Democrats trying to spend more of other peoples money that we don't have. What a shock!!! It grows on trees, folks!

You can get all (or most) of this coverage in a $0 Medicare Advantage plan. There's no need for this at all. This will only put even more fiscal pressure on a system that already has an elephant on its back. Just more people who don't understand how insurance works, trying to dictate how insurance should work.

Just a friendly reminder to all agents, if you want to keep your jobs, you vote Republican. I don't care how much you personally don't like the person with the (R) in front of their name. These people (DemoncRATS) HATE insurance, and they would love to put us all out of work.

Hey, hey...I'm a Cubs fan, we're still good, and we already won the World Series a few years ago. Thank you very much.
