Where does Barack Obama stand on Medicare?

Answer 1

Obama says he would consider raising the eligibility age for Medicare from 65 to 68. His "obamacare" health plan that he pushed through Congress already makes some changes in Medicare, especially in prescription drug coverage and payments to doctors and hospitals, when and if it takes full effect. I do not think he has more big plans to change Medicare. He is strongly in favor of universal health care insurance. (He does not seem to have any workable plans for cutting health care costs.)

Answer 2

Barack Obama supported Medicare during his presidency. He worked to protect and strengthen the program by implementing provisions of the Affordable Care Act, such as expanding coverage and closing the "donut hole" in prescription drug costs for seniors. Obama also advocated for reforms to improve the affordability and accessibility of healthcare for all Americans.
