Among the 54% of seniors who say they will NOT enroll, or don’t yet know whether they will enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan, the most commonly cited reason is that they already have help paying for prescription drugs from an insurance plan or program (65%). Nearly four in ten seniors who are not currently planning to enroll say they don’t think a Medicare drug plan will save them money or that the benefit is too complicated (37%).

Around three in ten seniors say they don’t take enough medication to need a prescription drug, or that they don’t know enough about the benefit (31%), or say that it’s too hard to figure out which plan to choose (28%).
