Democrats Look at Lowering Medicare Eligibility Age

Wall Street Journal: “Democrats are still negotiating over which healthcare policy elements could be in the second of two spending programs the administration plans to unveil soon.”

“The package is likely to contain measures to reduce drug prices and expand health coverage, lawmakers said. Proposals to expand Medicare eligibility from age 65 to 60 and to enable the federal government to negotiate drug prices in the health program for seniors—both of which President Biden supported on the campaign trail—are also likely to be included.”
