Since 1965 pensions and retirement health care pay packages are very different today because of Medicaid. Business factored in Medicaid and don't offer health insurance like they probably would of been doing otherwise after retirement. Those 70 year old Republicans paid their health insurance premiums all throughout their working years and because Lyndon Johnson's Great Society they didn't get retirement packages they might have got otherwise. Calling them hypocritical is not factoring in what Medicare did to their job market.
