AHRQ Chartbook: Trends in Health Care Affordability Stable From 2010 to 2012
Health care affordability was stable between 2010 and 2012, ending an eight-year trend in which it had been becoming less affordable, according to AHRQ’s new “Chartbook on Care Affordability.” The overall percentage of people unable to get or delayed in getting medical or dental care or prescription drugs due to financial or insurance reasons decreased from 71.4 percent in 2010 to 69.3 percent in 2012, after having grown from 61.2 percent in 2002. The percentage of people reporting they did not have a usual place to go for health care also decreased, from 21.2 percent in 2010 to 20.2 percent in 2012, after having increased from 15.6 percent in 2002. The rate of individuals under age 65 with health insurance premiums and out-of-pocket costs exceeding 10 percent of their annual family income remained stable at 17.5 percent in 2006 and 17.9 percent in 2012. The chartbook is a supplement of the 2014 National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report.
