Majority of Canadians over 45 anxious about future health expenses, study finds
Canada’s baby boomers fear their golden years will be anything but rosy.
A strong majority of Canadians aged 45 and older are anxious about their financial future and their ability to pay for uninsured prescription drugs and other health expenses, a new poll finds. Eight in 10 aren’t convinced they will be able to find or afford a decent home or long-term care should they need it, according to the Canadian Medical Association’s annual “report card” on health.
“We should not accept that a country as prosperous as Canada has such a large portion of its population living in fear for the future as they age,” said outgoing CMA president Dr. Louis Hugo Francescutti.
