Many seniors can’t afford dental care, hearing aids or glasses.
I’m proud that all Democrats supported my amendment last night to expand Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision paid for by cutting prescription drug costs for Medicare in half.
No Republicans voted for it.

While the bond market is typically seen as sedate and respectful, it can pack a heavy punch when it’s alarmed. And right now, it’s getting worried about how much more Washington is preparing to pile onto its spiraling mountain of debt because of its desire to cut taxes.

NEW: A House committee just advanced a bill to cut hundreds of billions from Medicaid that would devastate the lives of disabled people and throw millions off the program.
The bill could get a full House vote as soon as next week. Tell your representative NOW to reject these cuts.
