Once upon a time, “my doctor” was the only answer a person would give if asked who they trusted when making personal health decisions.

People in that age group are also most likely to drop a medical provider or lose trust in one over political differences, according to the eye-opening findings of a new special report from global communications firm Edelman, released on Thursday.
