Health Care Costs

Health care reform is a huge issue in the media these days, with the US government struggling to deal with Medicare, Medicaid, and health care for all. Canadians face their own funding crisis. Although we have universal health care, many health costs are passed on to retirees, and these costs may present real hardship in your later years. The greatest risk comes from a prolonged stay in a nursing home for one spouse, as the other struggles to maintain the home. New alternatives exist which may significantly reduce this risk, and I rarely see these options used when I review financial plans.
