The High Cost of Living Longer: Women and Retirement Health Care (PDF)
HealthView Link to more items from this source
Dec. 7, 2016

"[W]omen, on average, will pay more for health care in retirement than men, but the reason is primarily because of longevity, not the use of medical services.... [A] healthy 55-year-old woman will pay $522,827 ($253,594 in today's dollars) in retirement health care expenses -- almost $79,000 more than a male -- because she will live two years longer. Looking ahead, because of rising health care inflation and an additional year of life expectancy, a 45-year-old single female will pay 27.5% more in health care costs than a male of the same age."
