Why Is the Medicare Eligibility Age Set at 65?

The Medicare eligibility age is set at 65 because it is historically aligned with the retirement age established by Social Security. When Medicare was introduced in 1965, age 65 was seen as a reasonable point when many Americans retired and needed health coverage. This age remains a standard benchmark, offering consistent access to healthcare as people transition out of the workforce.
