According to a new survey, about 43% of older workers with more than $250,000 in assets say that they are concerned about rising health care costs in their retirement. The survey also found that workers underestimate how much health care will cost them a year. Many workers say that they are pushing back retirement, with health care being one of the main reasons for their delay.
