Even with men closing the gender age gap, women still live years longer, so perhaps have more time to contemplate what may be. While the outlook for the future of the NHS as we know it is uncertain right now, the cost of continuing to provide elder care and free prescriptions enjoyed north of the border in a post-independence country would also be up in the air. People my age are young and fit enough to live through any growing pains a new country might encounter (and as an American, I'm used to having to pay out of pocket in worst case scenarios). So while I'm casting my chit for 'Yes,' I find it hard to blame the older women who may choose differently when so much they need to know is not being discussed.
