NU Online News Service, Feb. 27, 12:25 p.m. – More Americans are worried about health care costs than about losing their jobs, missing rent or mortgage payments, losing money in the stock market, or experiencing terrorist attacks, according to a survey by Princeton Survey Research Associates, Princeton, N.J.
The researchers who conducted the survey, which was sponsored by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, Menlo Park, Calif., found that 38% of the U.S. residents polled said they were very worried that the amount they pay for health care services or health insurance would increase over the next six months.
Thirty-seven percent of the participants were very worried that their income might not keep up with rising prices in the coming six months.
