61 by 2011 and 60 by 2012. Maybe we can phase in Medicare Part E.

1. Our only chance is to keep pushing to extend it down

and stop all privatizing attempts by both parties.

[rhett o rick]

2. I agree. This isnt intended to be a short term solution but should be included in whatever bill is

passed.

3. Late nite kick. nt

4. Any other comments? I think it is a good idea and havent heard it elsewhere. nt

6. Well atchully, Max Bacchus used to support lowering it to 55...

And I still think that makes a lot of sense.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

5. I say 55 and above right now. nt

7. Reduce it to 23, or better yet, 13.

8. I would love that too. But I am suggesting something that the Dems mite "slip" thru

in a bill, especially if it has a weakened PO.
