Raise Medicare Eligibility Age from 65 to 67

Cut 100 Billion from Medicaid.

2. Entitlements, aid to the poor

and the most vulnerable among us. It sure as hell ain't going to be raising taxes on corporations and the wealthy.

3. Raise medicare eligibility?

Nice. Cause it's not like employers are shunning older workers in favor of younger workers who will accept less pay and with potentially less health care issues. What are people supposed to do between age 50 and 67? Rely on medicaid? O wait....
