People ages 65 and older are more likely than younger adults to say lowering the cost of prescription drugs is the most important issue for the President and Congress to deal with. Nearly one-quarter of seniors (23%) name this issue, compared with about one in seven adults under 65 years (14% of ages 18-29, 13% of ages 30-49, and 14% of ages 50-64).

Older individuals are less likely than their younger counterparts to say that lowering the cost of health insurance should be the top priority. Just over one in ten (12%) seniors say lowering the cost of health insurance is the most important health issue, compared with 26% of ages 18-29, 30% of ages 30-49, and 27% of ages 50-64.
