Medicare at 50 Act reintroduced

[Ombligo]

A group of Democratic senators re-introduced legislation, dubbed the "Medicare at 50 Act," that would expand Medicare access to Americans who are between 50 and 64 years old. There is bipartisan support for expanding Medicare eligibility among Americans: A January 2019 poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation found that 77% of the 1,190 respondents — including 69% of Republican respondents — favored a Medicare buy-in plan for people as young as the age of 50.

The legislation also goes a step further than President Biden’s Medicare plan, which proposed lowering the Medicare eligibility age to 60 years old.
