Analysis Summary
Lower-income adults report worse health outcomes and face more obstacles accessing care compared to wealthier peers — a consistent finding across health surveys. This matters because health disparities by income compound over time, driving higher rates of preventable disease and earlier mortality in lower-income populations. Pew's data likely tracks specific barriers like medication affordability, transportation to appointments, and competing financial pressures that force lower-income households to delay or skip care.
