Article Abstract:

There could be some 43 million people in the US with no health insurance, with an increasing number of people aged between 55-years-old and 65-year-old lacking such insurance. An increase in the Medicare age-limit to 67-years-old leaves younger people with no protection.

A system involving vouchers has been suggested, but it is not certain that this would provide a solution.
