- 51% of Americans with a healthcare provider are too afraid to ask them about their health condition or symptoms
- 69% of Americans are concerned they won’t be able to understand the terminology their doctor uses
- 50% of Americans said they worry a provider will be insulted or get angry if they push to find out more about their condition
