I don't know your individual situation - why you retired so early or your circumstances - but it would be ruinous and wasteful for a society to encourage people to retire that early.

A person who retires at 51 and gets government benefits will spend more of their life as a taker than as an earner.

I don't think you should be bragging about retiring early to collect government health care benefits. It doesn't really sound responsible. Which is the problem with socialism, isn't it? It encourages people to say why work, save, take care of myself - let the nanny state do it. Are people who work past 51 saps?

And I find it hard to see your basis of complaint against health insurance companies in other countries. You have no experience with them. I do and I've never had a problem with those evil greedy leeches as you pro-socialist folks refer to them.
