Obviously you don't read very well.

You do understand the distinction between life expectancy at 65 and life expectancy at birth correct?

You do comprehend the meaning of the following sentences and how they have nothing to do with life expectancy at birth right?

...Increased life span: In 1900, the average 65-year-old could expect another 12 years of life, on average. A century later, in 2000, life expectancy post-65 had increased to 19 years for women and 16 years for men. Similarly, in 1900, 85-year-old Americans could expect an additional four years of life. By 2000, that statistic increased seven years for women and six years for men.""

"A 50 year old male can expect to live to 78.5 compared to the 73.9 years of his 1921 counterpart, and a 50 year old female today can expect to live to 83.2, compared to 74.6 year life span expected for a 50 year female old in 1921.

These are conservative estimates of life expectancy, as they are based on the assumption that today’s 35 years olds will have the same probability of dying when they are 65 as today’s 65 year olds have: today’s 35 year olds will have 25 years of additional medical research to reduce the probability of dying in the future."

""Over the next decades, our nation will experience major demographic changes. They include a large growth in the number of persons age 65 and over as the baby boomers reach retirement age and increased life expectancy after age 65."
