2036 Medicare eligibility raised to age 67?
So basically people need to continue working until age 67 in order to have health insurance? In a world where older workers are losing work because companies don't want to be burdened with their healthcare costs? Is that true?

5. In a world where the PPACA is implemented
The consequences would be much less severe than you suggest.

7. Repubs WANT you to die before collecting any money taken
from your pay check because rich fucks need tax cuts.
