Ben is basically a libertarian and I can’t agree that retirement itself is stupid.
But he’s right that 65 is too young to get social security. We can’t afford it anymore.
Medicare though needs a different solution. Raising the retirement age won’t fix why it’s expensive.

We all win with Medicare for All!
The UAW supports Medicare for All because everyone deserves quality healthcare. M4A would also strengthen our hand at the bargaining table to fight for better wages, time off, and retirement security for every UAW member!

I am excited to introduce the Protect Social Security and Medicare Act with @doggett.house.gov and Rep. Maxwell Frost.
We all pay into these programs and are counting on them for essential healthcare and a dignified retirement. This bill will protect them.

Rosa María Carranza has worked and paid taxes for more than two decades, but a provision in the GOP's One Big Beautiful Bill Act will make her and an estimated 100,000 other lawfully present immigrant seniors ineligible for Medicare. Now Carranza's once secure retirement is in question. n.pr/3QmhQjr
She paid into Medicare for years. Trump's immigration policy will end her coverage

Dr. Oz hints at raising the retirement age with Americans "so vital" they choose to work an extra year, calling it $1 trillion in value. He doesn't mention that Social Security's formula barely rewards working past 62. convenient math for the guy running Medicare.
