It's Quality of life, not just Quantity
Why is this important?
Some people want to kill Medicare but the problems is: it needs to be changed. The items covered under Medicare don't cover the real needs that most seniors need: dental, hearing and sight. Last night while watching TV, two commerals came on for male enchanment products, one was a pill and the other was called Pro-T-Vac, and each was covered under Medicare but when I went looking for help with a dental, hearing or sight problem, all I got was buy more insurance. You can get a hip replacement or a new liver when your 90 but when it comes to dental work, a hearing aid or glasses your just plain out of luck.
