Education and income both have a large impact on whether a person gets needed healthcare. Education affects income. Often, having more education means a person will earn more income later in life. Education also helps people make wise decisions when choosing between health products and services. Income often determines whether healthcare is affordable. Even if they have health insurance, people pay some amount for healthcare. When a person has little income, this amount can become difficult. People with less education can spend as much as 50 percent of their income on housing, leaving little for money for healthcare and other expenses. As a result of not getting needed healthcare, people can develop health conditions or leave health conditions untreated. In fact, studies have found that more than one-half of people in the US have delayed or chosen not to get treatment for a health condition because of cost.
