Will 60 be the new 65 for Medicare?

OP, That would be Excellent. Would solve a lot of mine and DW's concerns. Even 62 would be good. I would take SS if this is passed.

Just ran across this, supposedly we could see some action this month:

"Biden Considers Opening Up Medicare Eligibility to More Americans - The change would make 60 the new 65 — and millions of Americans could save thousands."

"millions of Americans could save thousands." and more millions of Americans will pay hundreds.
All government programs cost tax payers! Government programs are not free.

Beware the Law of Unintended Consequences. It has yet to be revoked .

All sounds great but eventually someone will pay dearly for the program. They will go after people with money and business. I don't want to give the gov any more money to pay for people that never worked and played all there life.

The legislation is proposed, not passed, and only about 4% of proposed legislation is ever passed. Our consensus is that the thread will only provoke an emotional response from our membership given the topic and the fact that this is a retirement forum. We will continue to stop discussions on proposals until they have a realistic chance of becoming law.
