By definition, when talking about access to healthcare a person of means is someone who can afford it. What is true is that there are lots of people who think they are “middle class” who can’t afford access to the system.
13% of the people don’t have a usual place to get healthcare in the U.S.

Either a person has the dollars to pay or they don’t. > What is true is that there are lots of people who think they are “middle class” who can’t afford access to the system. What people think doesn’t really matter when the bill arrives. We might be better off thinking in terms of “qualifies for financial assistance”. Those who have just enough income to disqualify them from assistance will have more trouble paying, obviously. Some of those will forgo or delay treatment due to cost concerns.
