Summary
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- New findings by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) show that women, younger individuals, and individuals who experienced an increase in either premiums or cost sharing are more likely to seek information on health care costs, quality, and access in order to make informed decisions. Additionally, people with a higher level of education are also more likely than those with less education to research information.
The analysis is based on the EBRI/MGA 2010 Health Confidence Survey (HCS), which examines a broad spectrum of health care issues, including Americans' satisfaction with health care today, their confidence in the future of the health care system and the Medicare program, and their attitudes toward health care reform. The full report is published in the February 2011 EBRI Notes, "Who Tries to Find Objective Information on Health Care? Findings From the 2010 Health Confidence Survey" and is available online at www.ebri.orgSee the full content of this document
