Sen Bernie Sanders Proposes Medicare Expansion Act for Seniors
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is trying to expand health care coverage for seniors. In a speech on the Senate floor, Sanders touted his Medicare Dental, Hearing, and Vision Expansion Act. Sanders says the bill requires Medicare to pay the same amount or less for prescription drugs than the VA. He says that change would cut the cost of prescription drugs for seniors by half and save more than $800 billion over the next 10 years.
