In 2008, Change.gov challenged Americans to participate in “Health Care Discussions” as a way to encourage conversation and interest for health care reform. In response, 30,603 individuals participated in a discussion and shared their thoughts on what was wrong, right, fair and unfair about our health care system.
After a discussion, each group submitted a summary of their meeting and a final survey on their group’s top health concerns to Change.gov. The surveys revealed the top 5 concerns participants had for our health care system:
- 31% Cost of health insurance
- 24% Cost of health care services
- 20% Lack of emphasis on prevention
- 13% Difficulty finding health insurance because of a pre-existing condition
- 12% Quality of health care
Do you agree with these top 5? Check out the discussion Travis hosted (below) and visit HealthReform.gov for more info.
