If “public option” government-run health care (e.g. Medicare) is so great, why is so much NOT covered?
Just a few things that are NOT covered:
# dental care;
# hearing aids or the examinations for prescribing or fitting hearing aids (except for implants to treat severe hearing loss in some cases);
# long-term care, including personal care, such as help with bathing, toileting and dressing (unless homebound and receiving skilled care) and nursing home care (except in a skilled nursing facility if eligible);
# some preventive care, including most routine physical examinations and tests, immunizations, and routine foot care and eye care;
# vision (eye) care, including eyeglasses (except when following cataract surgery) and examinations for prescribing or fitting eyeglasses.

Is cataract removal covered by Medicare?
I’m asking for an elderly friend of the family. He’s and 83-year-old vet who has barely functional vision.
