I disagree with Medicare being lower to 65. Instead it should be raised along with the drawing of SS benefits. These laws were passed many years ago and since that time the life of people has been extended. No adjustments were ever made for this fact.
When SS benefits were passed in the 30's it was a widow /orphan fund and IF you reached a certain age you could draw from it BUT at that period the odds were against you to reach that age.
Full disclosure, I draw full SS benefis (waited to 70 to collect), have Medicare and a supplemental retirement health insurance plan paid by my ex-employer for life. I am also enrolled in the Veterans Administration Health Care plan.
Also, unlike the heathens in this forum, I lead a clean cut Christian life.
