MEDICARE SOLVENCY ON THE MIND — A growing share of American adults is concerned about the future of Medicare, according to a poll released today from Gallup.
The share of overall adults “worried” or “extremely worried” about being able to get Medicare benefits when they become eligible grew six percentage points between 2022 and 2024, well outside the margin of sampling error at 1.7 percent. The growth in fear was particularly pronounced among Americans ages 40 to 49, with 83 percent saying they’re “extremely worried” or “worried” this year about not being able to receive the benefits.
