(Gallup Centre/West Health) Nearly every aspect of daily life has become more expensive — and healthcare is no exception. Americans are feeling financial strain from a range of daily expenses, including healthcare costs.
About one-third of respondents without insurance — more than 82 million Americans — have made at least one trade-off with daily living expenses to afford healthcare.
• 62% saying they have made at least one sacrifice to pay for healthcare,
• 32% who have borrowed money
• 24% who have prolonged medication.
Even among those with insurance, close to three in 10 have made at least one sacrifice.
