I think this is the proposal floated by Joe Lieberman and another senator this week, I can't remember who the other senator is. We all know something has to be done to make Medicare sustainable over the long run, and a couple of months added to the start date for each birth year seems fair on its surface (by the way, I'm not a 49er, but a 50er). But like always, the devil is in the details. Not to worry though - Pelosi and Reid have already gone on record as being against it - I doubt either has read it, but they both have come out against it.
