Episode Details

For the first time in five years, fewer than half of Americans can consistently afford the healthcare they need—down to 49% from a high of 61% in 2022. Even with ACA subsidies still active late last year, premiums are surging, nearly 3 million people have fallen out of the “cost secure” category, and even high earners are struggling. Young adults and marginalized groups—including Black, Hispanic, and women—are hit hardest. The result? People skip meds, delay care, and end up sicker and costlier to treat. Experts say real solutions require policy changes: extended subsidies, better coverage, and transparent pricing—especially for drugs.
