One-quarter of people 'underinsured'

Health policy groups are increasingly voicing concern about the large number of people who are struggling with healthcare costs and falling behind on bills despite having insurance.

Rising deductibles and co-pays are deterring many people from seeking care, observers say.

One-quarter of people with health insurance are paying so much in deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses, they are considered “underinsured,” according to a study this month by the Commonwealth Fund.

Those costs are piling up. Nearly one in four Americans report holding some medical debt, and nearly all have health insurance.

Just over 40 percent of privately insured adults with deductibles of $1,000 or higher were paying off accumulated medical bills of $4,000 or more, according to a separate report from the Commonwealth Fund this month.

“All across the country, Americans are struggling under the costs of health care, under this healthcare law,” Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) said, citing the study.
