You better be prepared to take care of yourself in the future because the financial tsunami that is on its way to North America is only a couple of decades away.
The governments of Canada and the United States are in no position to pay for the healthcare needs of the increasing elderly populations. People are living longer, and as a result the costs are sky-rocketing.
The cost of care in the last year of someone’s life can be more then the cost of their care during all the previous years of their life.
As more and more people reach “old age” the cost of keeping them alive will most certainly be unmanageable.
If you want to have choices with your health-care when you get old, plan on it today. Chances are the government isn’t going to be there for you when needed.
