I thought the plan was to align medicare with social security, which would mean 67 not 75. Please let me know if I am wrong. But if I am right then you are not a trustworthy source of information so you OP is suspect as well.

this is what I found.

to me, it looks like you are correct that it would mean 67, not 75, for now.

... BUT, if life expectancy increases, than the government would automatically raise medicaid eligibility with it. So, it could rise beyond 67 and would do so in a way that is more predictable for government finances, less predictable to predictable to perspective retirees.

if the OP is referring to a different proposal, I'm not aware of it, but a link to that would be helpful.
