Most of the older people I know WANT to work. They miss the social aspect of it and the feeling of worth.
Here in Vegas at the Station Casinos they hire lots of the "elderly".
None of them that I talk to are working there because of "health care". They are working there because they enjoy it and have fun talking to people and interacting as opposed to sitting in a nursing home waiting to die.
Why do people think that other people are only worried about "health care".
Most people don't give it a single thought in their day to day lives (not talking about folks who have ongoing health issues...they are a tiny percentage).
If you ask the average guy why he works the job he is working...I'd bet you the LAST thing he would tell you is because of "health care".
It's more like he is worried about paying the rent, getting some groceries, and maybe a beer on the weekend.
