Skipped health care or Rx due to cost in select high-income countries 2020 by income

According to a 2020 survey, all eleven high-income countries showed income-related inequalities in affordability of health care, such that those with lower income were more likely to skip needed medical care or prescription drugs because of cost. The discrepancy was largest in the U.S. where half of lower-income adults reported foregoing medical care or drugs due to cost in the past year. This statistic illustrates the share of adults who skipped needed medical care or did not fill a drug prescription (Rx) due to cost in the past year among 11 high-income countries in 2020 including the U.S., by income level.
