I read somewhere that in order to return SS back to the original retirement age, we would have to set the SS start of benefits to something like 78 years old.

Exactly, because the average life expectancy is 79!

Where is all that money I sent off to the government to invest for my retirement? *rhetorical*

What about Medicare? It’s insolvency is scheduled to be much earlier -— 8 years from now according to the article.

So, in order to return it back to its original retirement age, how old should someone be to qualify for Medicare?
