[quote=Anonymous]THANK YOU - so agree. What use is a dental program that starts in 2028? This bill was robbing Peter to pay Paul. [i]Unfortunately, the draft reconciliation bill in its current form opts for the path of least resistance, taking too many shortcuts and skirting difficult decisions. Take, for example, the proposal’s expansion of the Medicare program to cover vision, dental and hearing, a policy that has merit. However, to implement this policy, the draft reconciliation bill relies on budget gimmicks, with dental benefits not taking effect until 2028. The decision to delay these benefits was based in significant part on a desire to lower the overall price tag of the bill, but it is disingenuous, allowing lawmakers to try to claim they made a historic expansion that may never take effect while obscuring the true cost of the expansion, at potential risk to the broader Medicare program.[/i][/quote]
