Early Findings
Rising Costs of Healthcare
A 2017 report hinted that healthcare cost in the U.S. has risen from
5%
of GDP in 1960 to
18%
in 2017, and was projected to hit
20%
by 2027.
According to a survey report published by PRNews Wire, paying their medical bills ranks as the top pain point for
98%
of healthcare consumers in the U.S.
According to the report, 97 percent of healthcare consumers in the U.S. ranked "
financially related tasks
that take place prior to a doctor's appointment as "very" to "extremely" important parts of their healthcare journey, but most are dissatisfied with current solutions to address these pain points."
A separate report by Experian established that
90%
of patients in the U.S. “vastly underestimated” major medical procedure costs.
Furthermore, a Kaiser Family Foundation Health survey found that overall "
85%
of Americans are worried about paying more for health coverage, and 60% are worried about losing that coverage."
