Survey: Obamacare alleviated medical cost issues

President Obama's healthcare law helped people better afford medical care and avoid financial difficulties related to their health, according to a new survey. Results released Thursday from the Commonwealth Fund's Biennial Health Insurance Survey revealed that 14 million fewer people reported trouble accessing healthcare in the last year. The drop — which totaled 7 percent — was the first time the number of adults who reported this problem had declined since 2003, when the question was added to the survey. Americans had an easier time visiting doctors when they had a medical problem, filling prescriptions, pursuing recommended treatments and receiving specialist care, researchers found.
