Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and other lawmakers on Sunday sent a letter to President Joe Biden asking for an expansion of Medicare benefits to be included in the upcoming American Families Plan, a roughly $1.8 trillion spending and tax plan aimed at rebuilding the U.S. economy.
Sanders, along with Senators Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), led 13 other lawmakers in drafting a letter to Biden urging for extended health benefits.
The lawmakers are seeking that Biden reduce the Medicare eligibility age; expand Medicare benefits to include hearing, dental and vision care; implement a cap on out-of-pocket expenses under traditional Medicare; and negotiate lower drug prices for the program.
