The challenge The inability to pay for essential medical care is not just a significant problem for the uninsured, but also for people who have health insurance. Rising premiums, deductibles, co-pays and coinsurance prevent many people from being able to afford the critical treatment they need. 58% of Americans have delayed or gone without essential medical care because of high out-of-pocket costs. $8,100 the average amount Medicare beneficiaries with cancer, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, and hepatitis C spent on their medications in 2019. 4x Patients are four times more likely to abandon their prescriptions when faced with a co-pay of $50 or more.
