According to a survey conducted in March 2021, most U.S citizens rely on Medicare, savings, and social security to pay for long-term care. At that time, just under 50 percent of respondents stated that one of these sources would support their actual or potential needs for ongoing living assistance. Only 26 percent of respondents relied on their pension.

each of the following sources to support any care you need as you get older?".
