4. Retirement, Social Security and long-term care
Opinions differ across groups on the government’s responsibility for the cost of long-term care
Many say government should play major role in financing long-term care for older adults; few think that will be the case
Most say older adults will be less financially prepared for retirement in the future
About four-in-ten Americans say, by the time they retire, Social Security won’t have enough money to provide benefits
