About The Study: This cohort study found that the U.S. health care system imposes cost burdens on a larger share of the population than suggested by cross-sectional analyses, and most individuals in the U.S. will experience such burdens during their lifetimes. Policies that reduce out-of-pocket costs might improve the well-being of individuals in the U.S.
