1. From the article: Age discrimination is one of the last places left where employers can discriminate. This sounds to me like we need to reform some discrimination laws at the federal level.
2. I think that we need to go to a single-payer health insurance system and get employers out of the business of providing health insurance. If this were done, more employers would consider people over 50. The ACA helps in some ways, but is an incomplete solution as the employer still has to offer and pay up for health insurance, and older engineers are going to cost more in premiums.

If this were done, more employers would consider people over 50. I've always wondered if small businesses would be more interested in hiring women in their 20's and early 30's if single-payer was a thing. The difference in health insurance costs is non-trivial because of possible maternity costs.
