More than 60% of people in the UK can no longer afford to pay for some of their or their family's healthcare needs as the cost of living spirals, according to research from Engage Mutual. Of those struggling to pay, almost half (43%) questioned can no longer afford regular check ups at the dentist, or treatment for dental problems. The same percentage could not afford new glasses. Families with under 16s are struggling the most, with 70% questioned finding some health costs unaffordable as a result.
