A survey conducted by West Health-Gallup Center on Healthcare in America revealed that approximately one-third of respondents, or over 82 million Americans, have had to cut back on at least one daily living expense to cover their health care bills. The study, conducted from June through August, found that health care spending is on the rise, partly due to the decline of America's health. The uninsured and lower-income Americans are also making more difficult choices, with some choosing to skip meals or use cheaper medicines. The situation is expected to worsen as millions more people become uninsured due to Republican lawmakers approving more than $1 trillion in cuts to federal health care support.
