Schumer Backs Expanded Medicare Benefits

Punchbowl News: “Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is now backing Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) plan to add dental, vision and hearing coverage to Medicare, which will cost an estimated $350 billion to $400 billion over a decade.”

“Schumer’s office wouldn’t say whether Schumer is also backing Sanders’ call to lower the Medicare eligibility age to 60, or even 55.”
