What we’re asking for here isn’t unreasonable.
I’ve been fighting for Medicare for All for years — and you better believe that fight will continue until we guarantee health care to every person as a human right.
But right now, we have a real opportunity to expand Medicare coverage by simply lowering the Medicare eligibility age to 60. That would mean at least 23 million more Americans are finally able to get the care they need and deserve.
Good policy doesn’t have to be hard. We just have to do what's right. Lowering the Medicare eligibility age is popular, smart, and effective. If you agree, add your name as a citizen co-sponsor of the Improving Medicare Coverage Act — let’s show everyone that the momentum is behind us to get this done.

I feel like a broken record saying this sometimes, but what we’re asking for here isn’t unreasonable. President Biden proposed lowering the eligibility age on the campaign trail, and a recent poll showed that Americans — Democrats and Republicans alike — support it too.
The same is true inside Congress: More than 125 House progressives, moderates, and frontline lawmakers facing tough reelection fights support lowering the eligibility age because it’s good policy — but also because we want to show people across America that we’ve delivered for them.
Congress and President Biden should immediately deliver for the people by prioritizing the expansion and improvement of Medicare in the upcoming Build Back Better package. Add your name as a citizen co-sponsor of the Improving Medicare Coverage Act, and join the fight to get health care to millions of additional Americans.
