I fell and smashed all of the teeth in my upper jaw a few years ago. They had to build me a temporary replacement of the front teeth. And I was eating ICE CREAm when the temporary denture got stuck in the fudge sauce and pulled loose. So now I need all my bottom teeth replaced, and this being the US, and me being on Medicare, that's going to be a big deal.
Medicare was devised as a type of old-age pension. Now, what medical needs do you associate with aging people? Dentures, glasses, and hearing aids, and posssibly wheelchairs and canes and things. Medicare doesn't cover dental, vision, or hearing, at all. WHat sense does that make?
