.What about health insurance in retirement? What are women doing about that?



Dotsie, it really is different in Canada in terms of health care. For Canadians, if a person got a heart attack, they would get paramedic/9-1-1 aid, care in hospital with cardiologists in some cases, etc.... and the Canadian wouldn't have to pay for the diagnosis, etc. For a Canadian just under Medicare, they might not stay as long in hospital or not get a private room, but hey, you are not charged fees.

It is part of our Medicare system -across Canada, whether or not you are poor or wealthy.

A woman would worry more about her housing (if she is living in a high real estate priced city, etc.), ....other stuff.
