Abstract:
Millions of older Americans ages 50 to 64 rely on the nongroup (or individual) health insurance market for coverage. However, high premium and out-of-pocket costs can pose a major burden for those with coverage and prevent uninsured older adults from gaining coverage. Health care affordability challenges can negatively impact access to care.
