This uncertain economy is pushing a third of millennials to visit the doctor. (via CNBCMakeIt)
When's the best time to visit the doctor? For many, it's when the market is starting to tank.
Over half of millennials admit that the state of the economy plays a role in how they think about health care, according to a new survey of 2,500 U.S. adults by TransUnion Healthcare. And for about 32% of millennials, the recent market upheavals have actually prompted them to go in for a checkup or take care of a medical procedure they'd been putting off.
"As more of the cost burden for medical care shifts to patients, people are paying attention to news about the economy and the impact it may have on their families," says Dave Wojczynski, president of TransUnion Healthcare. But why the rush now? During a recession, health-care costs typically tick up, Jonathan Wiik, principal of health-care strategy at TransUnion Healthcare, tells CNBC Make It. But for millennials, this issue is a little more personal. Americans, and in particular, millennials are thinking; "I'd better go to the doctor before I lose my job and my health insurance," he says.
