Medicare at 50 Act reintroduced

[Lemon Drop]

Thanks Janit great points.

I read through the Senate bill. The idea is to get people 50 to 64 off the Obamacare exchanges. You qualify if you qualify for Medicare except for your age. And you pay a premium until you get to age 65. The premium payments would go into the Medicare trust fund. Subsidies would be available as they are under the ACA.

As I understand it this would be more cost effective for the government than what we're doing now.

I see that Sen. Sanders is not one of the Bill's sponsors, I assume he still wants Medicare for all?
