Nearly half of adults struggled to afford healthcare last year, survey finds
A 2025 survey of 10,000 U.S. adults found 46% struggled to afford healthcare, with uninsured adults (60%) and those with disabilities (69%) facing the highest challenges. Disparities were noted among racial groups, with Black and Hispanic adults more likely to report affordability issues than white and Asian adults. Health conditions like stroke and COPD correlated with higher rates of unmet healthcare needs due to costs.
