And it's more about businesses like selling old people insurance than a lot of issues that old people face and although they make token efforts to address Social Security concerns, it's from a a fairly conservative view.

Since people of the age group you are describing are mostly still working, maybe professional guilds would be more in order that would look after the interests of those groups. I'm not talking about unions although they could be part of the system, because a lot of the working class are self-employed contractors but could use an organization looking after their interests too.
