And what about the elderly who are still healthy and functional? I think elderly who cannot work should just be under disability, since it is essentially the same thing. That would also iron out the difficulty of keeping that social program in line with societal changes in health improvements. What if the average lifespan became 110? It would be difficult to continue starting financial assistance for the elderly at 65.
