Healthcare worry scale: Americans’ concern for healthcare equal to that of economy, ahead of terrorism and government shutdown

January 9, 2014

The first Healthcare Worry Scale survey of more than 1,000 Americans nationwide shows that 74% are extremely concerned or very concerned about healthcare, just slightly behind the 79% concerned about the economy and ahead of the 67% about joblessness. In comparison, only 59% are as concerned about terrorism and only 51% about a government shutdown. (Sacramento Bee)
