maybe the son could buy her glasses if she can't afford them..

No doubt he will, but the point is, Medicare seems to be able to avoid paying for even simple thing that ought to be covered, and it seems to be driving people into Medicaid (for which, in some cases, they must divest themselves of assets).

Medicaid, as I understand it, is for poor people so a person must fall under a certain income level to qualify and from what I’ve heard; the system tries to push them onto o’care. Presumably to bolster the roll numbers.

President Trump, if he follows through on his promise, will eliminate o’care while at the same time replacing it with something more in line with our capitalist society and where doctors can afford to make a living seeing patients again.

There are a lot of things not covered. It is estimated the average senior that turns 65 today is likely to have ~$120K in out of pocket health expenses before they expire..
