I believe we should lower the Medicare eligibility, have younger & healthier people belong. This would ease the strain. They could have a higher rate while employed. It would be a win-win.
To reduce the deficit, would you prefer raising taxes on households making $250,000 or more, or raising the Medicare eligibility age?
Raising taxes on households making $250,000 or more 71%
Raising the Medicare eligibility age 29%
