Former House Majority Leader and Republican Dick Armey and four other senior citizens sued to reject their automatic eligibility for Medicare. They said their eligibility for Medicare has caused their private insurers to limit their coverage, but that they would prefer coverage from the private insurers. They also want to continue receiving Social Security on the grounds that they earned it, according to the report.
The Fund For Personal Liberty, which aims to eliminate burdensome government regulations, is funding the case. The plaintiffs’ attorney said he would appeal the ruling, according to the report.
