If you can’t guarantee safe housing and food on your wellness visit, are you even checking wellness? This bill is a win for dignity, not just doctor visits.

A 10% bonus for docs who ask about housing and balance? Might actually get more seniors off the couch and out of the ER. Not perfect, but it’s a step.

Including telehealth and more providers is smart—flexibility is key when healthcare’s in flux. Fingers crossed the funding keeps pace with the ambition.

Incentivizing everything but common sense medical care; 10 percent pay bump for talking about housing? That’s not medicine, that’s politics scoring points.

More government hand-holding disguised as healthcare—next up, a bill to check my grocery list. When did Medicare turn into a social work program?

Finally, Medicare gets the glow-up it deserves—addressing social needs and not just symptoms. Seniors aren’t just bodies; they’re whole communities walking on two feet.
