State of the Union Speech and Health Care

In his State of the Union speech last week President Biden, understandably, spent a great deal of time on foreign policy, and specifically Ukraine, but he also emphasized a number of key health care issues that need to be dealt with.

Among those were prescription drug prices and Insulin prices in particular, mental health issues, nursing home regulation, and toxic burn pits, an issue of real importance to veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan.

However, he did not mention expanding Medicare benefits, specifically coverage for vision care.
