I am the same age as you. I retired 3 years ago and so far have spent no more than ยฃ300 pound of medical care ,the majority of that was for a dental filling . I don't have insurance . My way of thinking if I need to spend three years of what an insurance would have cost me ,I will still be in credit .

Just another way of looking at it , especially if you are generally healthy.
