The newly released survey shows that 47% of voters say corporate health insurance companies are primarily to blame for soaring healthcare costs across the U.S., while 36% cited the federal government and 34% said drug companies. Seventy-nine percent<\/span>\u00a0of respondents said they are worried about corporate health insurers denying or delaying doctor-ordered treatments.

\u201cVoters clearly are deeply concerned about the role corporate health insurers play in increasing costs while delaying and denying care,\u201d the Coalition to Strengthen America\u2019s Healthcare said in a statement. \u201cAmericans overwhelmingly believe medical decisions should be made by doctors and patients, not insurance companies, and they support greater accountability for harmful insurer practices that increase costs, create unnecessary barriers to treatment, and interfere with timely access.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Eighty-four percent of those surveyed think corporate health insurers currently hold too much power over medical decisions, while 70% say doctors should have the final say on treatment approvals and coverage instead of insurers. The poll also found that <\/span>72% of voters said they are more\u00a0likely to back candidates committed to holding insurance companies accountable for improper claim denials.<\/span><\/p>\n

The poll\u2019s release comes as many Americans have been grappling with rising healthcare affordability concerns over the past several years. The U.S.\u2019 health expenditures reached $5.3 trillion\u2014or $15,474 per individual\u2014in 2024, accounting for 18.0% of the nation\u2019s economy, according to the American Heart Association Journals.<\/span><\/p>\n

The increasing market concentration among fewer insurance companies may be contributing to higher insurance costs nationwide, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many Republicans are cautious about the prospect of getting involved with any major health policymaking before November\u2019s midterm elections, Axios reported on May 7.<\/span><\/p>\n

Morning Consult conducted this survey for the Coalition to Strengthen America\u2019s Healthcare between May 22-24, among a sample of 2,002 adults. The survey\u2019s results have a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.<\/span><\/p>\n
