last first, many medicare and medicare do cover -- medicare plans do cover dental.nsurance don't. people who have lower income probably cannot afford their dental care, and that is why it tends to be covered. i will gently correct the caller. the aca was never supposed to be simple. it was supposed to be a lot of things, but simple was never one of them. the whole health care system, particularly the government health care system, what ended up happening is, you watch c-span, and you s■xÑ@ee how cons worked. they ended up compromising, they ended up taking one from here and one from here and putting them together, and that makes things probably more complex than if they didn't move the bargain so much. so if you end up with the medicare, medicaid, and aca, very complicated. the consumer-facing part is supposed to be simple. i was just on the medicare website, which used to be simple and is not anymore. to buy a drug could not do until 2006. things have been added, but they have added to the complicity. host: another receiver of hello -- kathy, hello. caller: good mo

lower for medicare patients. have been digging into this and reporting all of this. do most people understand all of these changes? i guess politically, is president biden getting credit? laura: the short answer is that no, most people don't understand these changes that are occurring. and part of that may be the inflation reduction act was this big signature law that the president passed that include climate change provisions and other elements, that it appears some democrats say is hard for the average voter to understand. i spoke to a veteran democratic pollster who said even more than a year after the inflation reduction act was passed, voters still don't quite know what is in it. >> the biden campaign has tons of good stories to tell. everything from historical environmental legislation to infrastructure legislation to negotiations with pharmaceutical companies. but again, the challenge is, and we are seeing that with voters, is so many of them don't know and they are not connecting the dots. laura: juliette
