The Supreme Court has let stand a federal policy that allows employers to reduce their health insurance expenses for retired workers once they turn 65 and qualify for Medicare. The justices turned down an appeal by the 39-million-member AARP to undo a rule that essentially allows employers to treat retirees differently depending on their age. The EEOC rules make clear that employers can spend more on retirees under 65 years of age than those over 65 without running afoul of age discrimination laws.
