P. 3
• Half (50%) of the participants had no major-medical issue in 2016.
• One (12.5%) had a foreseeable medical condition (ex: had a baby).
• Three (37.5%) had an unforeseeable event or an event tied to a pre-existing condition.
• So:
o 75% of participants had no, foreseen or based on pre-existing condition conditions in
2016 (responses 6, 4 or 1)
o 25% had an unforeseen condition (responses 5 or 2)
Environment / direction
• No one rated the current healthcare environment as “bad.”
• Half rated the direction as “getting worse.”
Findings from initial electronic profile questions
From the initial electronic question input, we realized the following:
• We have different perspectives and need to respect each other and that one person’s
circumstance can be very different than that of another person.
• Cost of insurance and services, was rated lower (more of a concern) than access to providers
and insurance.
• Most participants (75%) did not have an unforeseen medical issue in 2016.
• All participants spent either under 10% (38%) or 10-20% (63%) of their income on medical
expenses.
