Its not that they are working to pay for insurance, it is that they get insurance included with the job, this usually extends to partners for a small fee.

What I notice more and more in Florida is elderly people working in supermarkets, department stores and car parks. The question might be "can Florida residents afford to retire there"? It looks rather like many can't.

They may not always be working to pay for insurance. When we were over there at Christmas the elderly packer insisted on taking my cart to the car - you an imagine my embarassement. Healthy looking lady with tiny bent up old man pushing a heavily laden trolley.
I asked if he minded me asking how old he was and he was 85! To my question of why did he still work he said he retired at 60, was fed up with watching repeats of movies and TV programmes and was saving up to buy a boat!
Maybe, where there is clearly no upper age limit for employees, some actually enjoy getting out and meeting people and earning some extra spending money.
