Gallup: couverture médicale et programmes gouvernementaux


On parle de couper dans Obamacare ainsi que dans Medicaid et Medicare. Qui seront les groupes les plus affectés par ces coupures? Un sondage Gallup nous apprend que 25% des américains bénéficient de l'aide gouvernementale pour un accès à des soins de santé... Les chiffres révèlent que les plus démunis paieraient la note.

"As House Republicans put forth a budget proposal that seeks to reshape the government-run healthcare programs Medicare and Medicaid, Gallup finds that 1 in 4 U.S. adults, including at least 1 in 10 American adults across all age groups, benefit from one of these programs or military/veterans' benefits. Seniors and young adults are the most likely to report having government-based health insurance."

"One in four black Americans between the ages of 18 and 64 get their health insurance from the government, making them the most likely group of those analyzed in the country in that age range to do so.

Those who are the least educated and have the lowest incomes -- which are overlapping groups -- are also among the most likely to receive healthcare through Medicare, Medicaid, or military/veterans' benefits.

Medicaid is specifically for low-income Americans, so that non-seniors making less than $36,000 per year are among the most likely to have government care isn't surprising. The programs also extend to higher income groups: 9.1% of those who make between $36,000 and $74,999 per year have government coverage, as do 6.6% of those in the highest income group.

Americans with the highest education and income levels are the least likely to have healthcare from a government-run program."
