when does the medicare age increase take effect
Arguments for raising the Medicare age. In looking at the costs of the Medicare program alone, it's obvious that if 65- and 66-year-olds aren't eligible for coverage, then Medicare will have lower costs compared to what they'd be if these people were covered.For example:f Medicare raises its eligibility age, the medical costs for seniors ages 65 and 66 don't disappear -- they're simply shifted somewhere else.
