Memorializes Congress to provide Medicare coverage for eyeglasses, hearing aids, and dentures.

New Jersey's Assembly passed Resolution AR 105, urging Congress to enact legislation that would extend Medicare coverage to include eyeglasses, hearing aids, and dentures. Currently, Medicare does not cover these items, forcing seniors to pay out-of-pocket for essential devices they need for daily living. The resolution highlights that many older Americans face financial strain due to these costs, with 42% of elderly Medicare beneficiaries experiencing hearing loss and nearly all over 55 requiring vision correction. This is a formal request to Congress, not a binding law, aiming to address gaps in Medicare benefits for vulnerable seniors.
