DELPHOS — A huge number of Americans are abandoning much-needed medical care because they can’t afford it.
According to the Commonwealth Fund’s Biennial Health Insurance Survey, an estimated 80 million people, close to 43 percent of America’s working-age adults, did not go to the doctor or access other medical services in 2012 due to cost. That figure is up from 75 million people two years ago and 63 million in 2003.
