CDC Report: Millions of Americans Lack Adequate Healthcare Access

More than 40 million adults in the United States, representing nearly one in five, report they do not have sufficient access to the healthcare they require. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released these findings in its annual report on the nation's health.

The CDC's analysis highlights a considerable gap between the healthcare needs of the U.S. adult population and their ability to obtain necessary services. The report did not detail specific reasons for this lack of access.
