Raising the Medicare Eligibility Age—Stories to Break Your Heart

[ReRe]

1. Thank you, eridani

for sharing these stories. The Medicare eligibility age definitely needs to be lowered as soon as possible. Rumors of raising the age requirement sounds so cold and mean. They paid into those systems all their lives and never got to use the benefits. The protagonists never say anything about that, do they? All they tell us about is how the safety nets are running out of money. Well, how is that? I would be interested on seeing the statistics on how many people pass away each year just before or shortly after they reach the "required age".
