1. Those type videos always get to me. I had vision issues all my life until I got cataract surgery.

Couldn't see my hand in front of my face without glasses. Back then, schools didn't routinely test kids for eye issues. Almost failed early years because I couldn't see blackboard. Finally got glasses, but ugly, thick things. But I could see.

Love watching these little babies seeing the world for the first time.

Fortunately, today, there are very few kids who can't get glasses under Medicaid and/or CHIP.

2. Vision services would be covered under Medicare for All. n/t

4. Maybe. Medicare doesn't cover glasses right now, except for the first pair after cataract surgery.

Nor do they cover the cost of refraction to prescribe eyeglasses.

Would hope M-4-A would cover those and dental, but I bet it won't initially if ever enacted.

3. With vision insurance ($360 a year)..

My glasses cost about another $450. So I can only afford a new pair every few years. Better than nothing, I suppose.
