As the month draws to a close, many Americans are still waiting for their fourth stimulus check. Three continuing requests have made considerable progress in the last few days, and if accepted, might result in a credit of a few hundred dollars.
Updates are now available for the $1,000 cash grants to low-income households, the $600 Golden State Stimulus check, and Medicare expansion. Many efforts and projects to modify America’s safety net were seen by the federal government. Regardless of its potential, only bills that have been enacted may formally help Americans and deliver the suggested financial aid.
On Friday this month, a total of 1.15 million payments valued at $857 million which is a part of California’s Golden State Stimulus II program, stimulus payments will be distributed, putting some extra cash in recipients’ pockets and bank accounts. (Photo: CNET)

Maxicare Expansion Approved?
Medicare should cover your eyes, ears, and teeth. It’s that simple.
It’s time to finally expand Medicare and guarantee seniors FULL coverage.
— Rep. Pramila Jayapal (@RepJayapal) October 26, 2021
Legislators are divided on whether or not they would expand Medicare to cover dental, hearing, and vision care. Unfortunately, as of this writing, they have not reached a decision.
Senator Joe Manchin, a centrist Democrat, told AS that the Medicare system needed to be stable before expanding. Members of the Progressive Party differed.
The expansion of Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision is one of the most popular and important provisions in the entire reconciliation bill. It’s what the American people want. It’s not coming out.

Pramila Jayapal, the chair of the Progressive Caucus in the House, tweeted that it was time for “FULL coverage.”
Senator Bernie Sanders, the chair of the Senate Budget Committee, disagreed. He added that the policy that Americans want is “not coming out.”
The expansion of Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision is supported by 84% of the public and is one of the most important provisions in Build Back Better. It's what the American people want and, after waiting over 50 years, what they are going to get.
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) October 24, 2021
Many people are still hoping that officials will allow it. After all, Medicare expansion is a key component of the Build Back Better initiative.
