By: Blake Hutson | Monday, September 9, 2024
The poll, which surveyed over 700 Texas voters statewide in late August, was commissioned by Texans for Affordable Healthcare to measure public sentiment around healthcare solutions.
Key takeaways include:
- 62% say “health care providers inflate the costs of the services they provide and consumers are being taken advantage of.”
- 75% say “pharmaceutical companies charge unreasonably high prices for their drugs because they know that sick patients have no choice but to keep buying them.”
- 87% support requiring medical providers in Texas display the cost of their services and give their patients a detailed and itemized price list both before and after the medical treatments and procedures.
- 68% support creating a Texas law that would require the state to disclose the impact of any proposed legislation that would raise the cost of health care or prescription drugs.
