Let's Expand Medicare by reducing the age required to enter Medicare by two years.

      Medicare has been here since the sixties.

      Should  we expand it?

      Should we reduce it?

      Kenneth Stepp says expand it, by reducing the entrance age required for those who wish to participate in it by two years.  That would bring more people into Medicare.  We could assess the results and then decide whether to extend Medicare again.  The way Medicare works now, you can sign up for Medicare with free hospital coverage at a certain age.  If you want more coverage, such as supplemental insurance for doctor office visits, and for pharmacy expenses, you can get them.  If you want a more expensive doctor, you can pay him extra, above what you'd pay a Medicare doctor.  You still get many choices in Medicare, which I would not take away.  What's good for people over 67 is good for younger people too.

      Let's expand Medicare.
