What's going on here? Is this just my group or a wider pattern?

It costs the company more money to offer insurance to older workers.
Older workers' salaries are usually more than what the company is able to chisle down to offer to younger, more inexperienced, and/or desperate-to-work-for-peanuts (H1B, etc.) potential hires.
There's also a general misnomer that older workers are less agile/apt to adapt to newer processes, with AAAAIIII being in the forefront of that particular boondoggle.
