The Increasing Demand
for Primary Healthcare
With healthcare prices continuing to rise in the U.S, an estimated 112 million, 44% of American adults are struggling to pay for healthcare. Due to the extremity of healthcare costs, individuals are often not able to receive any medical attention at all. For others, many have to take less medication than they are prescribed or directed to take so that the medication will last longer. Approximately 46 million Americans believe that if they were to have a medical emergency today, they would be unable to afford quality healthcare. This leaves millions of people vulnerable and without the opportunity to receive the adequate medical attention that they require and deserve.
