WASHINGTON DC \u2013 Hoy, el Senador de Oreg\u00f3n Jeff Merkley copatrocin\u00f3 la Ley de Protecci\u00f3n de Medicare, una legislaci\u00f3n que expresa una fuerte oposici\u00f3n a los cambios en Medicare que reducir\u00edan o eliminar\u00edan los beneficios garantizados o aumentar\u00edan la edad de elegibilidad para las personas mayores trabajadoras. Hoy, m\u00e1s de 46 millones de estadounidenses dependen de Medicare. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cElevar la edad de elegibilidad para Medicare ser\u00eda absolutamente desastroso. En mis ayuntamientos, escucho a muchos habitantes de Oreg\u00f3n que tienen poco m\u00e1s de 60 a\u00f1os y rezan para llegar a los 65 para recibir sus beneficios de Medicare. En todo caso, deber\u00edamos reducir la edad de elegibilidad. Medicare es un salvavidas importante para nuestros adultos mayores y debe protegerse de los ataques hostiles para privatizarlo o debilitarlo\u201d. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
La Ley de Protecci\u00f3n de Medicare enmendar\u00eda la Ley de Presupuesto del Congreso para definir cualquier disposici\u00f3n incluida en la legislaci\u00f3n de conciliaci\u00f3n que haga cambios a Medicare para reducir o eliminar los beneficios garantizados o restringir los criterios de elegibilidad como un uso extra\u00f1o e inapropiado del proceso de conciliaci\u00f3n. El proyecto de ley tambi\u00e9n expresar\u00eda la opini\u00f3n del Senado de que 1) la edad de elegibilidad para Medicare no debe aumentarse y 2) el programa Medicare no debe privatizarse ni convertirse en un sistema de vales.<\/p>\n
