With only a few months until the 2024 elections, health care costs are the main health-related concern of older adults, according to a new University of Michigan poll analysis.

“Although policymakers have taken steps in recent years to reduce health care costs for older adults, particularly related to prescription drugs in Medicare, our survey suggests older voters have a strong interest in more action on this issue,” Dr. John Z. Ayanian, a professor of medicine at the University of Michigan and lead author of the study told The Epoch Times.
