Across a range of measures, KFF’s latest poll finds significant concern about health care costs.

Dig into the findings: https://on.kff.org/49XZyLG
Infographic titled “KFF Tracking Poll Finds Significant Concerns About Health Care Costs.” It shows: A third (32%) say that they are “very worried” about their ability to afford health care for them and their families – more than say the same about affording food and groceries (24%), rent or mortgage (23%), monthly utility bills (22%), or gasoline and other transportation costs (17%). A majority (56%) of the public expect health care costs for their family to become less affordable in the coming year. About 1 in 5 say that their health care costs have increased more quickly than other necessities, like utilities and groceries.

We know from experience — with Medicare — that the government can administer health insurance better than commercial insurers.
