What is the official Biden position on expanding the medicare to age 60?

I know it has been reported, and he has said, that that is what he would like to do.
However, this is all I could find on the website:

Plans for Retirees and Older Americans
II.
Protect Medicare as we know it. Today, Medicare provides health insurance coverage to over 60 million older Americans and people with disabilities. As president, Biden will continue to defend our nation’s commitment to older Americans and people with disabilities through Medicare, and he will keep Medicare as a separate and distinct program, and ensure there is no disruption to the current Medicare system.

I looked all over his website and this was the closest I can come and it doesn’t say anything about lowering the age.
I KNOW what’s been reported.
But what is the official stance?

I have a close friend that hasn't voted yet (trumper)

I thought Joe said he wants to bring the starting age for Medicare to 60. That would be important to him.
When I looked at the Biden-Harris Official Website earlier today I didn’t find that.
Did I miss it or was I mis-informed?

Mailed our ballots a couple weeks ago, Indiana web site reports that they have them.

Edited to add: Looks like they've been counted too!

Aha Moment On thedonalds Eating Habits

Remembered that its reasoning for eating fast food all the time was that they wouldn't know it was for him so it couldn't be poisoned.
I may be a little slow here, but I just realized someone that seems to specialize in poisoning people who cross him that theorangething may be afraid of..
Rhymes with tootin'.
