Study: Third of Americans go without healthcare

November 18, 2010 (CHICAGO)

The non-profit Commonwealth Fund's study found that a third of Americans say they have gone without medical care or skipped filling a prescription because of cost compared to just 5-percent in the Netherlands.

The study published in the journal Health Affairs also showed that 20-percent of U.S. adults had major problems paying medical bills compared with 2-percent in Great Britain and 9-percent in the next costliest country, France.
