In addition, it doesn't mean those of us between 55 and 65 would be put out to pasture simply because we suddenly had access to Medicare and a more secure Social Security in our future. Sure, some of us with enough savings, pensions, etc., would choose not to work again, but some might be motivated to take a chance at being an entrepreneur and starting a new business. We could freelance more easily (at any profession), and we'd have more time to volunteer to bring peace, prosperity and freedom to those younger than us who haven't had our advantages.
