Dems Oppose Raising Medicare Eligibility Age
House Democrats are lining up behind Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) against raising Medicare’s eligibility age as part of a year-end tax-and-spending package.
Pelosi rejected raising Medicare’s eligibility age in an op-ed published Tuesday in USA Today, then doubled down on that position Wednesday.
“We want what happens to be fair,” she said in an interview on CBS’s “This Morning” program. “And one of the things that we object to is raising the Medicare age.”

Well if there is something good behind raising medicare eligibility age then there will be no oppose from anybody, but if there is something that people will get less Medicare Benefits then it must be opposed by people.

Whoever is opposing rising of medicare eligibility age, I believe they can talk with with government and then they can put their concerns in front of government so that they can look after this issue and can find middle way to this.
