You must live and work here a minimum of 5 years to qualify for Medicare and social security
To get part A for no charge you must have 10 years in the United States working
If you have 5 years you can still get part A but you have to pay a monthly premium for that and it's quite expensive typically
If you're married and your spouse has qualified credits for the 10 years, then you can piggyback off of your spouse and get Medicare benefits
This is based on often spouses. Don't work for whatever reason. Just one does and therefore they are eligible to use their spouse's benefits to get Medicare
