Recent studies have highlighted an alarming trend in American health care: More and more people are struggling with medical bills and many are delaying care due to high costs.
The most recent poll by Gallup found that 38% of those surveyed said they or a family member had delayed care in 2022 due to high costs. That's up from 26% in 2020 and 2021. The rapid increase occurred in a year where inflation was at a 40-year high.
