3. That is good, but ...

I wish they would fix Medicare so that it would pay for my dental, vision, and hearing.

Also many of the co-pays for tests the doctors wants me to have is $300 each.

Physical therapy one wants me to have is $50 per session and he wants me to have six minimum.

All of that is free under Medicaid but not Medicare.
