The raw numbers paint a familiar picture; Coloradans are worried about health care, putting it second only to increasing cost of living and housing in their concerns.
There’s a lot more to those worries and the new reality in a survey from the Colorado Health Foundation.
“This year, you’ve got cost of food, you’ve got cost of gasoline and you’ve got cost of housing, and in previous years it was health care and housing, health care and housing,” he said. “Skipping doctor appointments, medicine,” said mom and fast food worker Alma Flores about what she’s experienced. Her co-workers tell her, “I haven’t been able to get my glucose test for a while, or my asthma medicine.”
But she was OK. It brings up the thought of a long term problem when she does not have health insurance. “I think that’s going to be an issue throughout all of health care throughout the entire state. There’s not enough health care resources all the time,” said Amateis.Numbers are particularly worrisome when it comes to mental health. Two years ago, during periods of isolation in the pandemic, 52% said they were experiencing mental health strain. But now society has opened up more with businesses re-opened, mass gatherings allowed and mask mandates peeled back.
