Tammy Baldwin proposes lowering Medicare eligibility age

Senator Tammy Baldwin proposes lowering the Medicare eligibility age. The Madison Democrat has introduced the Medicare at 50 Act, which would allow more than 58 million Americans between ages 50 and 64 to buy into Medicare before reaching the traditional eligibility age of 65. In a statement Baldwin said Wisconsin families sent a message last Tuesday, that they are struggling to make ends meet and afford the skyrocketing cost of health care. So Baldwin says she’s taking this head on.
