Older Americans Forced To Sacrifice Basic Needs

In a terrible turn of events, it has just been discovered that 1 in 3 Americans who are 50 years-old or greater are having to sacrifice important needs such as food to cover their medical care costs.

According to Gallup, two-thirds of older Americans believe that their medical costs have become at least a minor financial burden on them.

When considering their inability to pay for medical costs, one in ten Americans were concerned about the costs and believed they wouldn’t be able to afford it.

Furthermore, Gallup found that some older people are also avoiding getting the treatments they need for their medical issues due to the costs as well.
