NEW YORK, May 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Approximately 50% of Americans get health insurance through their employers, but the COVID-19 pandemic has put over 38 million Americans out of work, and left nearly 27 million Americans (including family members) newly without insurance.
With millions of Americans navigating the complexities of the healthcare system to purchase new health insurance coverage and deal with COVID-19, a new survey from ValuePenguin.com has revealed how little they know about how healthcare works, and how worried they are about COVID-19's impact on their healthcare costs.
Key Findings:
"Whether you're newly without health insurance coverage after being furloughed or laid off, or just concerned about the possibility of forthcoming medical bills, you can take steps to stay financially protected during the coronavirus pandemic." said Sterling Price, health insurance analyst at ValuePenguin.com. He added, "Budget for possible extra healthcare costs, and be aware of the trade-offs you need to make while selecting a health insurance plan from the dozens of options in your state marketplace."
ValuePenguin.com Qualtrics to conduct an online survey of 1,136 Americans, with the sample base proportioned to represent the overall population. The survey was fielded in May 2020.
