Many Americans are nervous about health care costs.
Researchers at Aflac Inc., Columbus, Ga., have published an assessment of that fear in a summary of results of a recent survey of 2,091 U.S. residents ages 18 and older.
About 37% of the participants with health coverage and 74% of the participants without coverage said they have considered not going to the doctor because of the costs they might incur, the researchers report.
