Consumer Healthcare Experience State Survey

A survey of more than 1,130 Nevada adults, conducted from June 21 to July 8, 2022, found that:

3 in 5 (65%) experienced at least one healthcare affordability burden in the past year;
4 in 5 (83%) worry about affording healthcare in the future;
Lower-income respondents and respondents with disabilities reported higher rates of going without care and incurring debt due to healthcare costs; and
Across party lines, respondents express strong support for government-led solutions.

Altarum’s Consumer Healthcare Experience State Survey (CHESS) is designed to elicit respondents’ unbiased views on a wide range of health system issues, including confidence using the health system, financial burden and views on fixes that might be needed.
