More than 100 Democratic lawmakers in the House from all wings of the caucus introduced legislation on Friday to lower the Medicare eligibility age to 60

This legislation comes as Democrats are working to expand Medicare benefits through their multi-trillion-dollar spending proposal being used to fulfill much of President Joe Biden's domestic agenda. The lawmakers are introducing this legislation with the hopes of it being included in the final reconciliation package.The legislation, which has at least 125 original co-sponsors, is led by Reps.

Joe Manchin threw a major wrench in the plan Democrats have been building for months which centered around the reconciliation package being passed at the same time as the bipartisan infrastructure bill that already passed the Senate.The moderate West Virginia senator called on fellow Democrats to"hit a strategic pause on the budget-reconciliation legislation," which sent shockwaves throughout the party.
