Governor Brown to restore medical/care to seniors 55 and over

Help seniors over 55 yrs of age get medicare and medical dental benefits restored. Many of us are on a fixed income who need bridges and caps, root canals.

Why is this important?

I have not been able to chew on the on one side of my face for several years now. Due to cut backs on the dental benefits from medical and medicare. Cut backs from the previous governor. I am on a fixed income like many people on social security.
According to the news we now have extra monies for programs. Why not filter some monies back into to the dental benefits for seniors over 55 to help with bridges or dentures, etc... I have talked to many other seniors like me in the same situation who expressed fears of choking because of missing teeth which they can not afford to replace.
