Obama Agreed to Raise the Medicare Eligibility Age

MediScare.

When the Ryan budget discussed raising the eligibility age requirements for Medicare,

House Democrats and the professional left went completely nuts.

A liberal group even produced a commercial of Republicans pushing granny off of a cliff.

But now details are coming out from last week’s Boehner-Obama debt negotiations.

And in those negotiations the President agreed to raise the Medicare eligibility age to 67.

Details of the plan were not yet finalized before the Obama-Boehner talks collapsed on Friday. But in general, the agreement called for very gradually increasing the eligibility age from 65 to 67 over about two decades, according to administration and Republican congressional sources.

One pathway would call for increasing the age by one month per year beginning in 2017 until it reached 66 in 2029. In 2030, it would increase two months per year until it hit 67.

Surely we will soon see a DNC commercial with President Obama pushing grandma over a cliff.

NOT!

Typical hypocrisy from the Democratic party and their minions on the left.
