Survey: 72% Say US Health System Does Poor Job of Caring for Seniors

Posted November 30, 2022

According to a National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation (NPHI) survey, 72% of respondents said they do not believe that the U.S. health care system does a good job of caring for seniors.  Two Thousand and nine people were surveyed, and of those 82% believe profits matter more than care.

NPHI conducted the survey in September in collaboration with Emergence Creative and the consulting firm SIR. The research follows up on a 2017 report by the Kaiser Family Foundation and The Economist to gauge whether perceptions of health care had changed in the intervening years, particularly in light of the pandemic.

“The lack of trust in our health care system seems to be a real concern,” NPHI President Carole Fisher told Hospice News. “Because what people are not trusting seems to be the profiteering aspects, making money off of their illnesses at the time when they’re feeling most vulnerable.”
