The Center analyzed the perspectives of 1,000 U.S. adults in August 2019 regarding 25 issues concerning health care and digital technology. Key findings were:
- 80% of people believe access to health care is a basic right available to all citizens regardless of ability to pay, an opinion shared by most Americans — even those who call themselves “very conservative” (56%)
- One-third of Americans would opt into using a personal monitoring system 24/7 by an insurance company or health care provider in exchange for lower-cost insurance
- 1 in 4 people would work with an artificial intelligence (AI) technology for lower health care costs
- 30% of people would consider buying health insurance from companies offering lower rates, including non-insurance firms like Amazon, Costco or Google.
