Title: Yes, we can work longer Author: Robert Sammuelson Source: Washington Post
*Date:* May 12, 2016
*Summary:* Can Americans work longer? Or are we so broken down by our 60s that extending work life would be cruel? These questions stalk the debate over Social Security and Medicare. Critics of current policy, including me, have long urged that eligibility ages slowly rise to reflect longer life expectancy. Not so fast, counter others. Just because people live longer doesn’t mean they can — or should — work longer.
