What to Know: Nearly 20 percent of Americans say they can’t afford needed health care, as prices continue to rise.
The TPPF Take: Health care costs are rising because of systemic problems.

“Roughly 3 in 10 Americans have delayed or forgone seeking medical treatment due to costs,” says TPPF Senior Fellow John O’Shea, MD. “Underlying the various drivers of healthcare costs is the common theme of a dysfunctional marketplace hampered by anti-competitive behavior and excessive regulation.”
