Perceived Ability to Pay for Care, by Insurance Status

Routine medical care can be difficult for the uninsured to obtain—a substantial point of contrast with their insured counterparts. Just over two in ten (21%) uninsured adults are “very” or “somewhat” confident that they have sufficient resources to pay for routine medical costs, compared with more than three-quarters (77%) of the insured. Fifty-nine percent of the uninsured are “not at all” confident that they have sufficient resources, compared to 10% of the insured.
