May 29, 2020: If infected by the coronavirus, a Ballotpedia national survey found that 20% of registered voters nationwide lack confidence they could receive appropriate medical treatment. That total includes 14% who are Not Very Confident and 6% who are Not at All Confident about access to treatment.[1]
Those figures reflect a ten-point improvement since early April when 30% lacked such confidence.
Looked at from a different angle, 75% are now confident they could receive appropriate treatment. That’s up nine points from 66% in the previous survey.[1]
Among lower-income voters today, 28% lack confidence they could receive appropriate treatment. That concern is shared by 19% of middle-income voters and 13% of upper-income voters.[1]
