The group’s campaign will include press events that focus on lowering the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 60, a measure President Biden promised throughout his campaign but has yet to act on.
The coalition is also pushing for an expansion of benefits that include dental, vision and hearing coverage, and drug price negotiations.
Lowering the eligibility age would provide an additional 23 million Americans with health coverage, according to the Times.
