They are already. SS Disability.

[wardaddy]

why quit working as long as one feels up to it?

[MaryFromMichigan]

Good one.
Here's one along those same lines...

[Cronos]

I’ll retire at 40, since my investments since I turned 20 are doing pretty well, even during the downturn...I don’t rely on or count on any govt pension.

[jnsun]

I would support raising the retirement age, along with a modest trim in Social Security benefits, and I am on SS myself. I also think that we need to give younger people a way to opt out if they want, but only if they have another guaranteed alternative.

Outstanding. I'm on it and say the same.

The sixty-two yr. old option is absurd.

But in parallel the healthcare thing should never never never have been passed. The young should still acquire it through industry competition, while the SS set could still get their precious medicare.

It's like the perspective and the values of the LEFT are entirely corrupted.
