Now back to discussions that will be determined by... politicians....maybe by unions....maybe by lobbyists....maybe by the EEOC due to age discrimination
disclaimer: not for nor against....just curious

Heard a song on the radio that basically said: "Not afraid of growing old, at least it's one less day I didn't die young"

This makes sense. Let’s be honest, life expectancy in Japan is much higher than that of the US, and the Japanese are much healthier on average than Americans (must be genetics because their food is definitely not always healthy.) Much less worried about Roboto croaking at the yoke than Billy John from Mississippi.

But you can then work at a non-federal contract tower (NFCT) or work at a third world ATC facility as long as you can carry at Second Class medical

Im gona suggest the homogeneous dna pool has a lot to do with that stastic.
When one says 'american' its a highly varied dna pool with corresponding predispositions for chronic illness.
Comparing the US component dna longevity would likely reveal much less difference.
Toss in the very disperate social and cultural framework and any comparison is flawed at best.

So its likely 100% of atc 'retirees' are leaving with a pension...and medical coverage.
