Americans’ confidence in their ability to access and pay for healthcare improved for the second straight month in June, according to survey by Thomson Reuters. The Thomson Reuters Consumer Healthcare Sentiment Index rose from 98 to 99 and is up four points since hitting a low of 95 in April. In June, prospective consumer sentiment jumped to 100, which is three points higher than in May. Consumers predicted that they would be better able to pay for healthcare services and insurance and less likely to cancel or delay services.
The index also tracks whether they postponed, delayed, or cancelled healthcare services and whether they had difficulty paying for medical care or health insurance over the past three months. In June, retrospective consumer sentiment was unchanged from the previous month, remaining at 98. A full report on the June results is available here:
