What is the need?
The deteriorating economy with run-a-way inflation is affecting not only the cost of health care, but may be making the need for it worse. A recent poll published by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) outlined how health care costs factor into decisions about insurance coverage and care seeking, and rank as a top financial worry. The main takeaways from this report include:
- Many U.S. adults have difficulty affording various health care and dental costs.
- The cost of health care often prevents people from getting needed care or filling prescriptions.
- High health care costs disproportionately affect uninsured adults, Black and Hispanic adults, and those with lower incomes.
- Those who are covered by health insurance are not immune to the burden of health care costs.
- Difficulty paying medical bills can have significant consequences for U.S. families.
