Retirement Income & Aspirin Guidelines
from Zoomer Week in Review · host Zoomer Podcast Network
Will you have enough income for a comfortable retirement? Have you taken the cost of ageing in place into account - especially if you need extra care? The National institute on Ageing says the answers to these questions is a resounding no. And Bonnie-Jean MacDonald, the director of financial security research has some suggestions. AND Less than two weeks ago a U.S. expert panel said Doctors should no longer routinely prescribe daily low-dose aspirin, for most people who are at high risk of heart disease. That’s because the risk of bleeding outweighs the benefit. But it only applies to people who have not had a cardiac event. That’s why cardiologists here are worried this guideline could cause harm. I talked with Dr. Mike Farkouh Cardiologist at UHN.
