The top 0.1% are that can afford premium health insurance (or pay the high medical costs out of pocket). That statistic is VERY deceiving. The projections are based on political assumptions (probably by the gang that buys that crap about the markets solving everything etc..)

They are living longer. But they are taking more medicines. And medicines are not free. Doctor visits are not free. Businesses do not want to bear that cost. They rather hire younger folks. So raising the retirement age is not as easy as people make out to be. But if there is Obamacare, then raising the age makes sense.
