☆ LGBT adults in the US are twice as likely to experience disrespect or unfair treatment at the doctor’s office, survey finds
  + stars: | 2024-04-02 | by ( Deidre Mcphillips | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
Less than 20% of adults who do not identify as LGBT say they have experienced any of these same interactions. Consequences resulting from these negative health care experiences are also more than twice as common among LGBT adults. About a quarter of LGBT adults say they’ve had a recent health care experience that caused their health to get worse, compared with less than 10% of other adults, the survey found. LGBT adults are consistently more likely than non-LGBT adults to experience discrimination in their daily lives at least a few times a year across demographics. But among LGBT adults, negative experiences are more likely among those who are younger, women and have lower income.

☆ Patients of Color More Often Brace for Unfair Treatment in Health Care, Survey Finds
  + stars: | 2023-12-05 | by ( Associated Press | Dec. | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +6 min
The poll found that 55% of Black respondents said they feel like they must be very careful about their appearance to be treated fairly at medical visits. That’s similar to the rate for Hispanic and Alaska Native patients – and nearly double the rate for white patients. Nearly 30% of Black respondents prepare to be insulted, also about double the rate for white patients. Asians and Hispanics were three times more likely to say they’ve been treated badly in a health care setting because of their race than white respondents and Black respondents were 6 times more likely. “The consequences in health care are really striking and very frightening, honestly, to understand what people need to do to be taken seriously, to be seen as a whole person,” she said.

☆ It’s Not Just You: Many Americans Face Insurance Obstacles Over Medical Care and Bills
  + stars: | 2023-06-15 | by ( Reed Abelson | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
The NewsA majority of Americans with health insurance said they had encountered obstacles to coverage, including denied medical care, higher bills and a dearth of doctors in their plans, according to a new survey from KFF, a nonprofit health research group. Those who were most likely to need medical care — people who described themselves as in fair or poor health — reported more trouble; three-fourths of those receiving mental health treatment experienced problems. The survey also underscored the persistent problem of affordability as people struggled to pay their share of health care costs. Among the nearly 60 percent who reported difficulty with their insurance coverage, 15 percent said their health had declined. Background: Insurance coverage is confusing to everyone.

☆ Abortion is a key motivator for US voters in midterm elections, new survey finds
  + stars: | 2022-10-12 | by ( Deidre Mcphillips | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
CNN —About half of registered voters in the United States say they are more motivated to vote in next month’s midterm elections than they were in previous elections – and abortion is a key issue driving that motivation, according to new survey data from the Kaiser Family Foundation. After the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization removed the federal right to abortion, some states moved to make local laws more restrictive. Voters in states with full abortion bans were more likely to say that those laws were making them more motivated to vote than in prior elections, according to the KFF survey. The economy is the top issue for Republicans, and abortion is the top issue for Democrats. Separately, the KFF survey found that most voters were not aware of the Inflation Reduction Act, which President Joe Biden signed into law in August.
