Low-income people, racial or ethnic minorities, pregnant women, seniors, people with special needs, people in rural areas - they all have a much harder time accessing a dentist than other groups of Americans.
When the average Social Security benefit is $1328 a month, and more than one-third of our senior citizens rely on Social Security for Virtually all of their income, our job is to expand benefits, not cut them.
Prescription drug prices are skyrocketing and one-third of all seniors depend on Social Security for at least 90% of their income.
I fear very much for our kids, for low income people and for seniors.
