One of the points made in that piece was about the extension of Medicare to those 55-65 I can see that as quite reasonable. That's a tough time period in people's lives--you're just starting to need more medical care but you may have lost your job and have trouble finding a new one because of age. Trying to hang on until age 65 to get treatment is a really sorry state of affairs.

You know what you say makes sense. It would probably cut the claims cost to insurance companies by a lot, a whole lot. If you coupled that with a catastrophic government plan for everyone, then you could probably privately insure the rest for peanuts. Just thinking out loud....
