Voters display concern about the accessibility, quality and costs of healthcare, according to a Morning Consult survey commissioned by University of Phoenix College of Health Professions. The survey received responses from 1,985 registered U.S. voters.
Here are five insights:
1. Of the survey respondents, 25 percent are not certain they have access to good healthcare services.
2. Seventy percent of respondents are concerned about accessing physicians on short notice.
3. Of the respondents, 79 percent are doubtful of the quality of care they receive.
4. Seventy-one percent of voters reported unease about medical errors.
5. Costs also prove a concern for voters, with 87 percent worried about health insurance prices and 82 percent wary about prescription drug prices.
"The recruitment and training of qualified health professionals has not kept pace with our population's growing demand for care," said Doris Savron, interim executive dean, University of Phoenix College Health Professions. "Today's healthcare system is at a tipping point, and addressing current healthcare workforce shortages is imperative in order to provide access to quality healthcare."
