A group of 21 Democratic senators have reintroduced legislation in Congress to lower the qualifying age for Medicare from 65 to 50.
“When it comes to providing affordable health care for every American, there is more we must do right now to change the status quo, improve our health care system and lower costs,” said Sen. Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat from Wisconsin and one of the cosponsors of the bill.

21 Senators wouldn’t be enough to pass it so who cares?
"Lower costs"? Really?
And how will it be paid for?
My wife and I are both 59 and we pay almost $2000 month for a $8000 deductible plan each.
By the time we reach age 63-64 our premium will be over $3000 month.
Sign me up.
Obama’s stash?
Nothings paid for. The current system isn’t paid for. The entire system is designed to kick the can down the road, and destroy the future.
Why not 18 ?
In their view it is. LOL! Now we need them to work on the 2 grand a month thing some more. Oh, and free utilities too.
Yeah...go ahead and completely destroy health care...should help with globull warming by killing all the seniors...
“When it comes to providing affordable health care for every American...”
...you mean NON Americans you sleazeball! Reagans quote of the 10 scariest words forever holds true...”I’m from the Government and we’re here to help”.
I think Medicare should begin when you are born. /sarc
“And how will it be paid for?”
Cloward-Piven.
Yeah baby....give me the free stuff...
That's because half the country pays 0. It's like everything else, the middle class end up paying thru the nose for our welfare state. Wait until they charge you for the tab to pay for everyone else's college debt and then free college going forward.
“My wife and I....will be over $3000 month.”
I have you shelling out around $288,000 before age 65.
If you cut your income down to PPACA subsidy eligible levels you’d save a lot.
“give me free stuff.
Give me free stuff mister.
Give me free stuff towards the floor...”
The not Lynard Skynard.
Seems I read recently that Medicare in it’s current form will go bankrupt in 2026.
$28...soon to be $30 Tri tri trillon national debt and $162.8 Tri tri trillion in unfunded liabilities, promised payments for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. These igmos want to give 30 million illegal aliens amnesty? Lower the medicare age to 50?
There is no other explanation than these people (Leftist/Globalist Dems & RINOs) want to collapse the system as we know it to usher in a true socialistic / totalitarian economic and governmental model.
They are not even bothering to work covertly any longer. It’s in your face, night and day. Relentless because they see America’s blood in the water and they’re working feverishly to plunge the final spear into the heart of our constitution.
Coming at’cha fast folks.
