Oftentimes, the delayed treatment was for a serious condition, according to a new Gallup poll.
A record share of U.S. adults said they or a family member delayed medical care last year due to affordability issues, according to a Gallup poll released Tuesday.
Thirty-eight percent of Americans said they or a family member avoided treatment over cost in 2022, a full 12 percentage points higher than the year prior and double the share of people reporting the same concern in 2001, long before the Affordable Care Act was passed and dramatically reduced the number of uninsured people in the U.S.
“In 2022, Americans with an annual household income under $40,000 were nearly twice as likely as those with an income of $100,000 or more to say someone in their family delayed medical care for a serious condition ,” the article added.
