45% say health care costs have already increased due to inflation
86% believe Medicare should negotiate with drug companies to reduce costs
SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- eHealth, Inc. (NASDAQ: EHTH) (eHealth.com), a leading online private health insurance marketplace, today released a survey showing that 95% of Medicare beneficiaries are worried about the impact of inflation on health care costs. Nearly half (45%) of the 2,500 Medicare beneficiaries surveyed say their health care costs have already increased due to inflation.
The survey, conducted before news of a possible compromise Senate bill to address drug costs under Medicare, also shows that 86% of seniors support government involvement in negotiating drug prices. Nine out of ten of those surveyed are living on a fixed income.
"Seniors on a fixed income are particularly vulnerable to inflation's impact on health care costs," says eHealth CEO Fran Soistman. "Our survey shows the consequences of inflation are immediate and that senior citizens are concerned about their ability to afford monthly premiums and other health care costs."
