I'm with you. I just signed up at 62. If someone would give me a guarantee that the rules won't change in the next four years I would consider waiting. But I have already been down this road. In 2008 when the market went south the my company changed the my pension rules. Had it in writing that the company was to pay my supplemental health insurance after Medicare for life. They reneged. We retirees sued and lost. I'll never count on two in the bush again.
