That’s the takeaway from a recent AARP survey of registered voters conducted by phone in June.
The issue of prescription drug affordability touches the lives of many Americans, and more so as they age.
The main reason people don’t fill a prescription they need is the cost.
Those younger than 65 tended to worry more about price than those who were over, AARP finds.
Support for the various remedies was consistently high across party lines.
Any concerns that lowering drug prices might interfere with industry advancement were not reflected in the AARP research.
The AARP survey reached out to registered voters age 50-plus in early June 2021.
The national sample was weighted by age, gender, race/ethnicity, and education.
