Early opt-in for Medicare?

Over 5.1 million Americans between the age of 55 and 64 are currently uninsured. The Dallas Morning News recently took a look at what would be the benefits of changing Medicare so that they could be insured under this policy. If these individuals were allowed to enroll, they would pay higher premiums than the seniors enrolled in the program. In addition to these individuals being insured, the medical care would also allow them to stay healthier and productive longer.
