Reform Medicare by lowering the eligibility age for Medicare to 60, negotiating drug prices for Medicare and Tri-Care which will lower overall healthcare costs paid for by the government ,
Why is this important?
My mother and father are in their nineties and pay $12,000 a year for health care in addition to Medicare and co-payments. They are not alone. I am 61 and nearing retirement, but like many seniors cannot consider retirement until I can be assured that healthcare costs will be contained so I will be able to afford it. If Obamacare will be providing and subsidizing healthcare to those not yet 65 who do not have health insurance why not put them on Medicare at 60 and contain costs by negotiating drug prices.
