Forcing folks to retire early so that they can afford medical care. Brilliant idea! Why can't Republicans come up with ideas like this? Just think of how much better the unemployment numbers will look if Obama can succeed in forcing those who should be enjoying the most productive and prosperous years of their lives to let Uncle Sam take care of them instead.

50-65 most productive? The article never mentioned forcing anyone to retire. Just people that have lost their job or can't afford current healthcare because of their preexisting conditions. Retirement hardly is an option anymore because companies will fire you a year or 2 before you can. It's hard to find another job when your 60 yeas old.
