Postponed Care, by Insurance Status

The uninsured (18% of adults) report considerably more problems accessing health care because of costs than the insured. Those without insurance are more than twice as likely as the insured to have had times in the past year when they did not have enough money to pay for medical care (58% vs. 21%). Similarly, uninsured adults are twice as likely as insured adults to report that they or a member of their household skipped medical treatment, cut pills, or did not fill a prescription in the past year because of the cost (51% vs. 25%).
