From the Survey:
From 1998 to 2006, there was generally an increasing trend in the annual percentage of persons who experienced this lack of access to medical care (4.2% in 1998 to 5.8% in 2006).
Figure 3.1 shows an increasing number of Americans that CHOOSE to neglect their wellness because they don't have money to cover the cost. That is dangerous to the nation at large. There are plenty of immunizations children need before entering school.
Additionally, anyone with an illness that goes untreated could cause a greater social problem to the country in that they could breed more disease to others.
If that isn't enough, realize this: "Super bugs become super bugs because citizens only take enough medication to 'feel better' rather than vanquish the bacterial infection or virus that plagues them. Now realize that pharmacies can provide a person with a partial fill of a perscription. What would you do if you had to choose between buying a partial perscription to get well enough to go to work the next day OR paying the entire cost?
And when it comes to age group, it is the 18-64 year olds making those decisions. The Working Class. Those that work for a living in underpaid jobs with no health insurance that cannot afford to be out of work one day on one of their three jobs.
The breakdown according to gender is the same. It is more women than men making these decisions.
In this category, oddly enough, there are about equal distribution across the ethnicities with higher levels in Hispanic citizens. So, it would seem when it comes to neglecting their health completely the same demographic applies to all these Americans.
If I am not mistaken, it would probably be the same folks working about the same jobs with the same income. Lower Middle Class with extremely difficult decisions to make daily, with high stress levels and few choices to change their outcomes or the outcomes of their children.
I can't imagine making that decision. It is grossly unethical and highly immoral to ask any Ameican to make those decisions.
