Thirty-three percent of U.S. adults go without recommended care, do not see a doctor when sick or fail to fill a prescription because of costs.
This is a heart-breaking statistic for the wealthiest country in the world, but becomes even more poignant with the current spread of the coronavirus or COVID-19.
Countries across Asia and Europe continue to report new coronavirus cases, and more than four dozen cases are logged in the United States.
This virus has killed thousands globally.
Delaying a visit to a health care provider due to costs may result in unnecessary fatalities.
Identifying and treating symptoms earlier may also help prevent the spread of diseases.
Just another reason to vote for candidates who support some form of universal healthcare. Let’s work together to improve our health security.
