It's hard to imagine anyone with real power is going to look at this study and think "Ohhhhh man, not having enough money really is a problem!"
Here are the "key highlights" of the study [1]:
- Income matters to health care
- Medical bills are a big burden
- Housing is unaffordable for many
- Food insecurity is a serious problem
- Health concerns vary by income
So tldr - not having enough money can make life hard. I guess this report is helpful in that it gives a real source of data to support arguments that wealth inequality is a problem, but does anyone really not know that already?

But more importantly, they are simply preoccupied with cultural war over economic or class war. People are much more concerned with whether liberals or conservatives are ruining the country, than whether the 1% are keeping them all poor. Political and cultural propaganda has been wildly successful here.
