Do not raise Medicare's eligibility age.

We are asking the Republicans in Congress not to use raising the age for Medicare eligibility as a weapon while negotiating with the White House the fiscal cliff.

Why is this important?

Republicans in Congress are contemplating raising the eligibility age for Medicare. I am 61 years old, suffer from a broken back, and recently had a heart attack. I cannot afford to wait another two years for Medicare.
