One of the biggest reasons to include some exposure to healthcare in your portfolio is simple logic: Healthcare isn't optional. If someone is ill, they need to address the problem, because the consequences of not doing so are likely to be far less desirable. If you are retired, meanwhile, you'll likely want to lean toward dividend-paying healthcare stocks.
Three strong options right now are drug giant Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) , medical device giant Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) , and senior housing-focused real estate investment trust (REIT) Omega Healthcare (NYSE: OHI) . Here's why these stocks, with yields of up to 6.5%, could help power your retirement portfolio.
