One-third of Americans skip meals or other needs to afford health care - The Washington Post
Overview
About one-third of Americans report skipping meals or other basic needs to afford medical care, highlighting how health costs force immediate trade-offs. The recent loss of more than three million food-stamp recipients because of tighter SNAP rules amplifies this food insecurity, meaning even more households may be forced to choose between health care and food. Sharp rises in Medigap premiums further squeeze older adults' budgets, so insured people can still face pressure to cut essentials, delay prescriptions, or postpone care.
