What weighs most heavily on older adults’ minds when it comes to health care? The cost of services and therapies, and their ability to pay. “It’s on our minds a whole lot because of our age and because everything keeps getting more expensive,” said Connie Colyer, 68, of Pleasureville, Kentucky. She’s a retired forklift operator who has lung disease and high blood pressure. Her husband, James, 70, drives a dump truck and has a potentially dangerous irregular heart rhythm. Tens of millions of seniors are similarly anxious about being able to afford health care because of its expense and rising c...

One emerging segment within this sector is older patients who elect to get their care overseas. This trend toward medical tourism among retirees exists at least partly because they want access to affordable, quality healthcare services since costs continue to rise. This article examines the opportunities and risks of m...

“You had to pay the fee, or the doctor wasn’t going to see you anymore.” That was the takeaway for Terri Marroquin of Midland, Texas, when her longtime physician began charging a membership fee in 2019. She found out about the change when someone at the physician’s front desk pointed to a posted notice. At first, she stuck with the practice; in her area, she said, it is now tough to find a primary care doctor who doesn’t charge an annual membership fee from $350 to $500. But last year, Marroquin finally left to join a practice with no membership fee where she sees a physician assistant rather ...

Esas fueron las reacciones de algunas de las 20 víctimas de disparos del desfile del Super Bowl de los Kansas City Chiefs que el jueves 27 de junio recibieron $1.2 millones del fondo #KCStrong, con pagos individuales que van desde $22,000 hasta $100,000. Chris Rosson, presidente y CEO de United Way of Greater Kansas City, dijo que los pagos ayudarán a estos sobrevivientes, reconociendo al mismo tiempo que la violencia con armas de fuego, como el tiroteo del 14 de febrero, ocurre todos los días en Kansas City, en general en comunidades de bajos ingresos que ya están desprovistas de recursos. “A...

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Democratic and Republican presidential nominees, shared a debate stage June 27 for the first time since 2020, in a confrontation that — because of strict debate rules — managed to avoid the near-constant interruptions that marred their previous encounters. Biden, who spoke in a raspy voice and often struggled to articulate his arguments, said at one point that his administration “finally beat Medicare.” Trump, meanwhile, repeated numerous falsehoods, including that Democrats want doctors to be able to abort babies after bir...
