The survey was conducted in August 2021 and consisted of 805 U.S. adults ages 18-64 who have had their coverage continuously for the past two years, according to a March 16 press release.
Forty-eight percent of respondents had annual incomes of $75,000, 22 percent had annual incomes of $50,000 to $74,900, 18 percent had annual incomes of $25,000 to $49,900, and 2 percent had annual incomes under $25,000.
Five key findings:
- Seventy-three percent would trade how they access care for savings of 10 to 30 percent on their annual healthcare costs.
- Forty-seven percent said they would accept the requirement of selecting a primary care provider from a list.
- Fifty percent said they would accept having to get a referral from their primary care provider before seeing a specialist.
- Thirty percent would be willing to change primary care doctors.
- Twenty-eight percent would give up seeing one or more specialists they currently see.
