This is an example of ageism. I'm pushing 50, let's see how I stack up:
> cost more in salary
If the salaries that show up in HN posts are true, this is a no.
> cost more in health care
My only health care needs in the past 30 years have been a couple of dental cleanings per year.
> have been known to push back [...] and to not get swept up in current fads.
Ok, you've got me on this one. I do keep up with new languages, libraries, etc. I've also lived through enough hype cycles to separate the good stuff from the fluff.

The answer here, I feel, is to slowly phase recipients to medicare to offset some of the costs. Even better if medicare were for all; or outright remove the private sector and the employer from paying for our health insurance.
