“can’t afford healthcare” <> “not getting healthcare”

Illegals don’t seem to have much trouble getting HC.

File this as useless information generated by inaccurate and biased goverment surveys.

Lots of people would see a dr for a hangnail if it was free.

How many people actually skipped a dr appointment for a serious issue due to cost?

How many skipped or cancelled an appointment because the issue resolved itself before the appointment because wait times are so long?

Why do you post such crap? And don’t even comment yourself?

The map is accurate for me. In Oregon, I’m spending about 10% or my income for healthcare.

health coverage for old people is stupid expensive. I can now see why some have to make choices between food and medications. America isn’t a financially friendly for older American that paid into this shitty system

The U.S. pours almost $13,000 per person into healthcare, yet average life expectancy is below nearly every other high-income nation.

Because people eat like crap and don't get out and move and get exercise.

This guy really advocates for healthy eating and has a lot to say on insulin resistance and its deleterious effect on health.

This particular video is one of his longest (an hour), but he has many others that are much shorter that deal with it. I just can't find them right now.

If you worked hard and you married right (hard worker as well) you can afford good health insurance and you can retire with good health insurance.

It’s not a right period and not a government handout.

It’s not only an affordability issue; there’s also the surprise billing risk.

The data is based on surveys asking persons if they experienced health care they could not afford in the last month.

Most people do not like to answer surveys, which immediately reduces who will answer the survey. After that, and acknowledging that, just how scientific is the survey, and therefor how accurate are the results??

I work in the facilities / engineering department at a large university/med-center. The amount of money wasted boggles the mind. Wall-to-wall vice presidents, assistant vice presidents, executive directors, directors, deputy directors, administrators….i need a dozen signatures to get a construction project approved and funded. Eight of these people are paid $300K or better.

Southern states post higher shares of surveyed adults who said they skipped visiting the doctor due to cost reasons in 2023, per CDC data. Notable amongst them is Texas—highest of all the states—with 18% of respondents being unable to afford healthcare. Texas has one of the strictest Medicaid eligibility requirements, leaving many working-poor adults uninsured.

This does not mean less care if available per capita, but that the pop. has less to spend. Top 5 states with the most Michelin-starred restaurants. California 85
New York 68
Florida 26
Washington, D.C. 24
Illinois
