Survey Says: Seniors Confused about New Healthcare Law

Truthfully, this news isn't surprising, given that many Americans in general find the new healthcare bill confusing! A new survey from the National Council on Aging (NCOA) found that most seniors are either misinformed or simply unaware of how the new healthcare law will affect them.

The NCOA asked 636 seniors a series of 12 questions about Medicare, the budget deficit and other healthcare reform topics. Only 17% of the seniors knew the correct answers to more than half of the questions, and just 9% answered at least two-thirds of the questions correctly. None of the survey participants knew the correct answers to all of the questions.
