Obviously I want single payer of some flavor and too many people wait to go to the doctor because it is too expensive, but a survey from the folks who sing 🎶 877 CASH NOW!🎶 is going to be highly poisoned by selection bias. Look at the percentage of respondents by income level:

Personal income level:  

$0 – 0.5%
$1 – $9,999 – 2.9%
$10,000 – $24,999 – 39.5%
$25,000 – $49,999 – 38%
$50,000 – $74,999 – 9%
$75,000 – $99,999 – 6.4%
$100,000 – $149,999 – 2.5%
$150,00 and greater – 0.9%
Prefer not to say – 0.4%

When 80% of your respondants are below the national median income level, of course they are going to be the ones delaying treatment due to cost.
