In our What’s an “Advocrat?” Hint: This Biden Admin Official is One! episode, we chat with Alison Barkoff, head of the U.S. Administration for Community Living — who is also a self-described, lifelong “advocrat” for seniors and people with disabilities. Alison discusses her passion for helping uplift these populations — and the Biden Administration’s commitment to turn Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) from a “side show” into the “centerpiece” of elder care.

“Teeth Are Part of the Body, Too” aka “Medicare Should Cover Dental Care”: Half of Medicare beneficiaries did not visit the dentist during the past year because they couldn't afford to. In this latest episode of our podcast, Melissa Burroughs of the advocacy group Care Quest says neglecting oral health can contribute to serious health issues in older people. Worse yet, traditional Medicare does not cover routine dental care.
