Patients Likely to Skip Preventive Care if ACA Ruling Holds

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Morning Consult polled a survey of 2,199 American adults to better understand if preventive service utilization would be affected by a recent court ruling eliminating coverage in the Affordable Care Act.

At least two in five respondents say they are not willing to pay for 11 of the 12 preventive services, with cancer screenings chosen as the service most likely to be paid for.

Half of respondents skipped or delayed medical care because of cost, with three in 10 saying they did so in the past year.
