Two new surveys by National Public Radio (NPR), the Kaiser Family Foundation, and the Harvard School of Public Health examine the pocketbook problems facing people in two presidential swing states, Ohio and Florida, including their struggles with gas prices, getting and keeping a well-paying job, and affording health care.
The surveys, Health Care and the Economy in Two Swing States: A Look at Ohio and Florida, also take an in-depth look at the impact of medical bills on family finances and health care and provide insights into the way healthcare costs affect people’s daily life decisions. The telephone surveys, conducted between May 21 and June 4, involved statewide representative samples of 1,358 adults in Florida and 1,201 adults in Ohio. Access the summary and chartpack.
