Both my husband and I are going to be retiring at the end of this year and we will be losing our health insurance. We are looking for recommendations for coverage.

Have fairly decent retiree health insurance. My folks used them for years.

1. Contact the company that your current group insurance is with and see if they do individual/family policies  
 
2. Join CARP (Canadian Association of Retired Persons) as they negotiate lower rates with companies for their members  
 
3. Look up Manulife and Greenshield. One of them (I can't remember which) will match your current group rates and coverage for a year or two if you sign up.)  
 
4. MB Blue Cross is always the most expensive but also the most readily accepted by service providers

We are with Greenshields & not at all happy…keep looking

I sent you that contact info you requested, sorry about the delay,

If you were a retired government employee MEDOC health insurance is reputable.
