Dental coverage under Medicare

Medicare does not cover dental except in extreme traumatic injury or disease. However, Medicaid DOES cover dental for low income individuals. Many on Medicare are low income individuals depending on Social Security payments.

Those on Medicare with an income less than $75k SHOULD have dental riders included in Medicare at NO EXTRA CHARGE.

Dental health is imperative to one’s health in general & many seniors on Medicare can not afford dental care. In today’s economy, they could barely afford food and prescriptions much less dental.

We are paying for luxury mansions for politicians in Ukraine with our taxpayer dollars. The least we can do is provide dental care for those on Medicare who need assistance…

Over $183 billion has been paid to Ukraine. Only $18 billion has been paid to Israel. How much has been invested in our senior citizens?

Dental and Medical cares should not be separate! Dental health can become life threatening very quickly. I’ll be 58 in March and I’m covered thru the Veterans Administration, but my wife is NOT covered because she’s not 100% disabled! I’ve seen her in major pain because of her teeth, and it is almost impossible to get her into a dentist even on emergency status! There’s a serious problem with this!

I 100% agree. Health, vision, and dental should not even be separate anyway. We need to better care for our elderly.
