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

This New Jersey Assembly Resolution (AR 79) requests Congress to enact Medicare coverage for eyeglasses, hearing aids, and dentures. It directly addresses elderly Medicare beneficiaries, noting that nearly 100% of those aged 55+ require reading glasses, 42% have significant hearing loss, and many need dentures - yet current Medicare excludes these essential devices. The resolution formally asks Congress to expand Medicare to cover these costs, aiming to reduce financial strain on seniors. Introduced to the Assembly Aging and Human Services Committee in January 2026, it is a non-binding memorial urging federal action.
