THREAD: Earlier this year, the @commonwealthfnd released its biennial health insurance survey. Let's look at what they found!
23% of adults are under-insured with burdensome out-of-pocket spending. 12% had no health insurance at all. Only 55% of American adults had full insurance coverage for the entirely of the year! 
35% of adults are not getting needed medical care due to cost concerns. These are people skipping doctor appointments, rationing medications, or not getting diagnostic tests because they cannot afford them.
Although this health care rationing is more extreme for people with no insurance or underinsurance, even people will full health insurance are not getting the medical care they need.
These patients' cost concerns are warranted! 37% of patients who followed doctors orders regarding treatment or testing ended up with burdensome medical bills or debt as a result.
