Abstract

This paper was stimulated by the Editorial of Dr Vince FitzGerald in the last issue of AHR on health aspectsof a comprehensive retirement policy (FitzGerald 2000). His main arguments were that increased retirementsavings are desirable, that there should be savings specifically for health care, and that the health savings shouldbe a mix of pooled and individual savings. He justified savings mainly on the grounds of economic prudenceand equity for our children.
