For a guy who doesn't care for the current Medicare approach in the reform bill, he certainly seemed convinced 90 days ago. Quoth Lieberman:

โ€œMy proposals were to basically expand the existing successful public health insurance programs Medicare and Medicaidโ€ฆ

โ€œWhen it came to Medicare I was very focused on a group โ€” post 50, maybe more like post 55. People who have retired early, or unfortunately have been laid off early, who lose their health insurance and theyโ€™re too young to qualify for Medicare.

โ€œWhat I was proposing was that they have an option to buy into Medicare early and again on the premise that that would be less expensive than the enormous cost. If youโ€™re 55 or 60 and youโ€™re without health insurance and you go in to try to buy it, because youโ€™re older โ€ฆ youโ€™re rated as a risk so you pay a lot of money.โ€
