Burdens of Health Care Costs: Postponed Medical Care

A substantial minority of adults report delaying or skipping needed health care because of cost. Nearly three in ten adults (29%) say that they or a family member has avoided filling a prescription, has skipped recommended medical tests or treatment, or has cut pills or skipped doses of medicine because of cost. A majority of these adults (56%) assert that their condition worsened as a result.
