Official Text

That this Board of Aldermen stands opposed to the proposed increase in the Medicare eligibility age currently being debated in Congress and supported by the Mass Hospital Association and sees this action as an attempt by hospitals to raise costs and profits on the backs of the elderly residents of our city, placing them at risk of reduced coverage and higher costs.
