The sick are often productive. Sick and productive aren't mutually exclusive. Old and retired (and bailed out twice already, in 2000 and 2008) is a different story.

Out of curiosity, have you talked recently to anyone older that 65? A lot of them are shut up in their homes, fearing social contact, and hearing your ideas might be uplifting for them.
