Jessica CorbettAs progressives in Congress cast attention on Medicare for All legislation this week, research published Thursday highlighted that Americans are frustrated and struggling due to the for-profit U.S. healthcare system.Gallup and West Health unveiled their new Healthcare Affordability Index and Healthcare Value Index, which are based on the opinions of over 6,600 American adults surveyed last fall, during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
"Millions of people across the country know that passing Medicare for All is long overdue," Tlaib said."In the richest country, our residents should not face financial ruin, continue to be sick, or even die, because they lack adequate coverage and care." Half of those surveyed said that"either their household or Americans generally are paying too much for the quality of the care that they receive or that their most recent care experience was not worth the cost," Witters noted.
