Survey Identifies Generational Differences in Healthcare System Perceptions

WASHINGTON, July 23, 2026 -- A new national survey highlights a generational difference in perceptions of the U.S. healthcare system. The findings indicate that Gen Z and Millennial voters more often report systemic failures, particularly regarding services for women, compared to older voter groups.

The survey identifies a 15-point difference between younger and older voter groups concerning these perceptions. Younger voters perceive more failures within the healthcare system, specifically noting issues with services provided to women.

Gen Z and Millennial voters express these concerns more frequently than older generations, according to the survey. These younger demographic groups articulate a call for improvements within the healthcare system.
