You can start social security at the age of 62 but not be eligible for Medicare until age 65. Medicare age should be aligned with Social Security. This makes no sense. It forces people to not retire until age 65 for fear of not having health coverage. We also pay into Medicare our whole working lives, why do we have to pay for Medicare premiums once we sign up for Medicare.

Even though we have Medicare going to the doctor or hospital is still not affordable to most of us. A lot of needed prescriptions are not affordable either. Senior Citizens need help now!
