Reduce the eligibility age for medicare so that senior workers that are ready to retire can have health benefits, thereby opening up positions to current unemployed citizens.
Why is this important?
Many seniors who are eligible for social security at 62 continue working just so that they do not lose their health care benefits. Some of these workers would benefit from early retirement due to current health conditions. This places a strain on employers who have less productive employees and it reduces openings for others who can not find jobs.
