    President Biden and progressive Democrats have proposed lowering Medicare’s eligibility age to 60 to help older adults get affordable coverage. But a new study says Medicare can be more expensive than other options, particularly for people of modest means.http://apne.ws/VmDYBr1

        Maybe they should expand it to all and abolish private insurance to lower costs.

        The problem is, in America, there is no good system in place to replace them and the gov can't figure it out because they're inept or unwilling. I've been on both medicaid and Blue Shield and I would never willingly choose the former.

        A friend of mine pays $600 a month for Medicare + supplement + gap but pays absolutely nothing when she needs the care. That’s not a terrible deal.

        We need to stop big pharma from price-gouging first, though universal healthcare would be the best solution to make for healthier Americans

        Conservative states will opt out, and let the system collapse, just like they did with the ACA. And forcing them is unconstitutional, per the 2010 NFIB v Sebelius ruling.

        That’s nonsense. It’s never about boomers, it about conservatives. Besides, people turning 60 now aren’t boomers. Or maybe the tiniest tail end, depending on whose metric you’re using.

        In a nation of 335 Million the idea that "other options" "can be" "more affordable" for some people in specific situations is hardly a surprise. This isn't an argument against lowering the medicare eligibility age, it's making an obvious observation.
