Record high can’t afford health care: Gallup

A survey shows that 11% of people could not afford medication and care in the past three months, the highest level in four years, according to Gallup.

Experts warn that cuts to Medicaid and the rollback of subsidies could exacerbate the affordability crisis, with many already facing medical debt.
Tim Lash from the West Health Policy Center noted that these financial pressures can lead to serious health consequences for those who forgo care.
