Senator Jeff Merkley needs to be remembered

and the way for me to remember is to type his name Senator Jeff Merkley from Oregon.
He is saying that Medicare needs to lower the age of inclusion not raise it. I agree and it is only from his lips that I hear this. I would like to hear it from more congress critters.

By infusing Medicare with a younger pool it will cut overall costs dramatically.

Of course, the best solution would be Medicare for all. We could cut health care costs by at least 30% nationwide by doing that.
