Poll: Older Adults Make Medicare Decisions Quickly, Rarely Switch Plans
Original: Many older adults make Medicare decisions quickly and most don’t change plans, poll finds
A poll from the University of Michigan finds that many older adults make their Medicare enrollment decisions quickly, and most stick with the same plan rather than comparing options or switching. The findings raise questions about how carefully beneficiaries weigh choices during open enrollment, especially as plan costs and coverage change from year to year.
Why now: Open enrollment season prompts attention to how seniors choose their health coverage.
