Cost, wait times, transportation problems, and negative interactions with healthcare professionals are causing U.S. women to delay or skip medical care, according to a Deloitte survey. Half of the surveyed women reported forgoing care in the past year, compared to 37% of men. Women require nearly 10% more health services than men but are 35% more likely to skip or delay care. Financial issues, access gaps, and poor provider experiences are key factors. Deloitte suggests increased investment in women's health products and a multi-pronged strategy involving providers, insurers, and policymakers to improve women's healthcare.
