Minnesota Consumer Healthcare Experience State Survey

A survey of more than 1,070 Minnesota adults, conducted from Oct. 30, 2020 to Nov. 27, 2020, found that:

• More than half (51%) experienced healthcare affordability burdens in the past year;
• Even more are worried about affording healthcare in the future;
• High numbers are worried about becoming ill from the coronavirus; and
• Across party lines, they express strong support for government-led solutions.

Altarum’s Consumer Healthcare Experience State Survey (CHESS) is designed to elicit respondents’ unbiased views on a wide range of health system issues, including confidence using the health system, financial burden and views on fixes that might be needed.
