Not sure why we would need to extended it beyond retirement age. You should be working till you are 65 unless you have a disability or other qualifying event in which case you would be eligible for that reason.

We don't need to give people who decide they want to retire early Medicare. They made the choice and funding their own healthcare should have been part of their calculations to decide if they could retire early.

You’re not giving anyone anything nor does this only apply to retirees. It’s buying into a healthcare plan. Making Part A available on the market. As with current Medicare recipients, additional coverage is needed. So only part of coverage comes from Medicare.

Your idea that people should be willing to work until 65 is puzzling. Retirement age keeps getting pushed back due to our unbalanced economic system.
